“Our labor here is brief,
but our reward is eternal. Be not troubled by the noise of the world that passes like a shadow.”
-St. Clare of Assisi
For Reflection:
Currently, what “noise of the world” is seeking to distract me from my goal of eternal life? In what way can I cooperate with grace to quiet it?
Yes, O Lord, grant me a true love, so that I may always be faithful to You in little things, since it is not given me to perform great ones. Grant especially that I may always give You the testimony of a sincere profession of faith, of behavior which is wholly conformed to Your law, no mattter where or in what circumstance I may be, never letting myself deviate through human respect.
