Your Will Be Done, O Lord, Not Mine

O Lord, You know, what is best for me, let it be done according to Your will. Give me what You will, in whatever measure You will, and at whatever time You will. Give me what You know to be the best, as pleases You best, and as will best promote Your glory. Put me where You will, and freely do with me in all things according to Your will. Am I not Your creature, and in Your hands, for You to lead me and turn me about as You will? I am Your servant, ready to do all things at your command, for I do not want to live for myself, but only for You. If only I could do this worthily and perfectly.

Thomas a Kempis

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. )

Souls...It's All About Souls!

There is nothing more holy in this world than to work for the good of souls, for whose salvation Jesus Christ poured out the last drops of His Blood. St. John Bosco

Why Dear Lord, Why?

[The Eucharist must be the source and center of every human life and most especially in the lives of our priests and religious. Why, dear Lord, do so many of us remain obstinately opposed to this Truth? Why don't more of us treasure this great Gift? Why have so many turned deaf ears to the prophets whom You have sent to us? Why are so few willing to quench Your thirst to be loved? Why, dear Lord, why?] "The moral rot of the priesthood starts with a want of lively faith in the Divine Presence, and the sanctity of the priesthood starts there too." Venerable Fulton J. Sheen
