“Christ is now exalted above the heavens,
but He still suffers on earth all the pain that we, the members of His body, have to bear. Why do we on earth not strive to find rest with Him in heaven even now, through the faith, hope and love that unites us to Him?”
~St. Augustine For Reflection:
Today I resolve to spend at least fifteen minutes in quiet meditation so that I may be united to Jesus in Heaven through faith, hope and love.
Of Mary, there is never enough!
IN GOD'S PRESENCE, CONSIDER.. Is devotion to Jesus' mother a part of my devotion to Jesus? Have I considered how her unique role in the world's salvation deserves my gratitude and praise?
CLOSING PRAYER From a prayer of St. Alphonsus Liguori: I love you, Mary, My Mother, and I wish I could speak with a thousand tongues, so that all might know your greatness, your holiness, your mercy, and the love with which you love all those who love you.
