Bear Your Sufferings with Christ
“The way of the Cross is the only pathway to peace of mind here and to eternal peace hereafter...Only in the school of the cross can we learn the truest wisdom, the knowledge of Jesus Christ and Him crucified...”
Remain Serene Even When Misunderstood, Day 2
“In the trials most repugnant to our natural selves, when we are misunderstood, misrepresented, or calumniated, let us be silent and, like Jesus and Mary, make no attempt at justification... The soul that is dead to itself has mastered the fine art of living.”
Remain Serene Even When Misunderstood, Day 1
“When, through the reception of God’s favors, we are placed in a false light, we should rejoice that God has enabled us to overturn the idol of our self-love and thus to love Him above all things for His own love-worthy sake.”
Bear Yourself Toward Others as Mary did, Day 2
“The house of Elizabeth, under the blessed influence of Mary, became a school of perfect sanctity in which everything was said and done from religious principle, thus enabling the mother of the Baptist to progress in holiness and allowing the virtues of Christ’s precursor to develop...”
Bear Yourself Toward Others as Mary did, Day 1
“Who can estimate the degree of grace conferred on Elizabeth through daily contact with the Mother of God? Bearing in her chaste womb the Creator of men and the Lord of angels, she infused blessings of the highest spiritual order into the soul of her virtuous relative, not only by her words and actions, but, by her mere presence.”
Rejoice in God’s Greatness, Day 2
“It is through serving God faithfully that man becomes the beneficiary of his Creator’s mercy.”
Rejoice in God’s Greatness, Day 1
“We desire God’s favors for our own individual gain, and not for our advancement in virtue and the consequent glorification of their divine Donor. Mary’s self- renunciation should teach us how to overcome this deadly vice, even though the price of victory is for us, as it was for her, moral crucifixion.”
Rely on Faith in the Face of Doubt, Day 2
“Mary, being dead to herself, never longed for God to speak to her until He deemed it necessary for the accomplishment of His designs in her regard.”
Rely on Faith in the Face of Doubt, Day 1
“In his perplexity, the person should not ask for a sign from Heaven, but, with filial trust in God, should await the divine comfort with which God will allay his fears and dispel his anxiety at the time best suited to further his spiritual progress.”
