“The modern world's feverish struggle for unbridled, often unlicensed, freedom is answered by the bound, enclosed helplessness and dependence of Christ—Christ in the womb, Christ in the Host, Christ in the tomb.”

To become a child
March 9
“To become a child is to know with a child’s intuition, to see with a child’s vision… to see human suffering, not with an adult’s reasonable despair, but with a child’s immediate, unquestioning compassion.”

Who has the Lord placed before you today?

Every action has eternal meaning
March 7
“I saw that it is the will of Christ’s love to be put into the hands of sinners, to trust Himself to man, that he may be their gift to one another, that they may comfort Him in each other, give Him to each other. In this sense the ordinary life itself becomes sacramental, and every action of anyone at all has an eternal meaning.”

His love will overcome the world
March 2
“The Host is resting among us in order that Christ may work the miracle of His love in us, changing us almost imperceptibly into Himself, that through us His love may overcome the world.”

Pray, act, and leave the rest to God.
March 1
“There are very many Catholics who are so intent upon exterior activities, and on activities which are divorced from what should be their daily life, that they allow no rest either to themselves or those who are near them: they leave no part in the world’s conversion to God, and forgetting His immemorial law, His way of acting in the world, they fail to surrender their lives to the Infant Christ…”
