Why Me? Why This?



There are many times in our earthly journey when we might ask ourselves: “Why is God giving this particular cross to me?” or even “Has God forgotten me?” It is on those occasions when we should ponder and draw solace and strength from this eternal but forgotten and rarely shared Truth:



“It is one of the most firmly established and most consoling of the truths that have been revealed to us that [apart from sin] nothing happens to us in life, unless God wills it so.


                 (St. Claude de la Colombiere, S.J. from Trustful Surrender to Divine Providence)

Look Up! Look Up With the Eyes of Your Mind, Heart and Soul!

en t “When the Host is held on high and a chalice lifted…look up! Look up and see what Mary saw.  See a naked man squirming as He bleeds against a blackened sky; see a battered human body, writhing on a tree, prisoned there by savage spikes that have torn through Sacred hands and feet; see thorn-tortured head tossing from side to side as anguished torso labors, lifts and strains; see the eyes of God roll towards heaven beseeching, as broken lips blurt out that soul piercing cry: “My God, My God, Why has Thou forsaken Me?” What is this?  This is the Mass.  This is Crucifixion.  This is what Mary saw at the elevation of Christianity’s first Mass.  This is what you should see at the Elevation of every Mass!”  (From  The Way to God by Father M. Raymond, O.C.S.O. )

Don't Pray? Think Again!

(Image source: Wikimedia Commons ) In whatever state a soul may be, it ought to pray.  A soul which is pure and beautiful must pray, or else it will lose its beauty; a soul which is striving after this purity must pray, or else it will never attain it; a soul which is newly converted must pray, or else it will fall again; a sinful soul, plunged in sins, must pray so that it might rise again. There is no soul which is not bound to pray, for every single grace comes to the soul through prayer.   St. Maria Faustina Kowalska
