The Wonder of Divine Grace

Would that mortal men might know how wonderful is divine grace, how beautiful, how precious; what riches are hidden therein, what treasures, what joys, what delights. If they but knew, surely they would direct their energy with all care and diligence to procuring sufferings and afflictions for themselves.

Instead of good fortune all men everywhere would seek out troubles, illness and suffering that they might obtain the inestimable treasure of grace. This is the final profit to be gained from patient endurance. No one would complain about the cross or about hardships coming seemingly by chance upon him, if he realized in what balance they are weighed before being distributed to men.

But, Lord, It Is So Difficult

(Image Source- Wikimedia Commons) Jesus warned that sometimes His teachings would bring conflict to those who accepted and lived them (Luke 12: 49-53)…being true to the Gospel means I will have to stand up for what I believe even if it causes division among those with whom I live and work. Jesus, do not let my distaste for conflict keep me from supporting and living Your profound teachings. One Bread, One Body

Let Us Adore Him!

Let us adore Jesus in our hearts, who spent 30 years out of 33 in silence; who began His public life by spending 40 days in silence; who often retired alone to spend the night on a mountain in silence. He, who spoke with authority, now spends His earthly life in silence. Let us adore Jesus in the Eucharistic silence. (Blessed Teresa of Calcutta)
