Sunday Morning Ramblings on a Monday Afternoon 01/25/2010

Fasting prayer and alms; self-denial, devotion and charity; these are the principal good works at this and every time; but they are more urgent now than usual, if we wish to obtain the special fruit of this holy season.

Pray for priests.
Love them.
Support them.
Help them to be holy.
We are weak and fragile.
If your knees are not bent in prayer for us, we stumble and fall.
We need your prayer.
• Fr Jozo Zovko ofm

The Daily Readings

“O my Jesus, I beg you on behalf of the whole Church: grant it love and the light of Your Spirit, and give power to the works of priests, so that hardened hearts might be brought to repentance and return to You, O Lord.
Lord, give us holy priests; You Yourself maintain them in holiness. O Divine and Great High Priest, may the power of Your mercy accompany them everywhere and protect them from the devil's traps and snares, which are continually being set for the souls of priests.
May the power of Your mercy, O Lord, shatter and bring to naught all that might tarnish the sanctity of priests, for You can do all things. I ask You, Jesus, for a special blessing and for light for the priests before whom I will make my confessions throughout my lifetime. Amen.” (Diary, §1051)

I feel that the greatest destroyer of peace today is abortion, because it is a war against the child - a direct killing of the innocent child - murder by the mother herself. And if we accept that a mother can kill even her own child, how can we tell other people not to kill one another? How do we persuade a woman not to have an abortion? As always, we must persuade her with love, and we remind ourselves that love means to be willing to give until it hurts.--Blessed Teresa of Calcutta

God saw all things only in the face of His Son. This was to give them their natural being, bestowing upon them many graces and natural gifts, making them perfect, as it is written in the book of Genesis: "God saw all the things that He had made: and they were very good." To see all things very good was to make them very good in the Word, His Son.... And thus in this exaltation of the incarnation of His Son, and the glory of His resurrection according to the flesh, the Father not only made all things beautiful in part, but also, we may well say, clothed them wholly with beauty and dignity.

- Saint John of the Cross (1542-1591), Spanish mystic, Carmelite friar and priest, Doctor of the Church
