6th November - Blessed Josefa Naval Girbes
Prayer, prayer…pray for a while each day, and life will be easier and bearable.

Work always with the same spirit of Christ. Keep Jesus before your eyes. He is the model of all called to glory.
If we wish to make any progress in the service of God we must begin every day of our life with new eagerness.
Do not complain, that shows discontent with the will of God in the present moment. That is also proof of impatience.
So my brothers and sisters in Christ, as we celebrate All Souls Day today, let us pray for our departed family members and friends that they may be purified of their sins and be united with God in heaven.
The Saints must be honored as friends of Christ and children and heirs of God.
Do not let your troubles disturb your trust in God.
You must strive, with all possible care, to please God…
Let us kindle the love of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary in the hearts of all people.
But you, beloved, build yourselves up in your most holy faith; pray in the holy Spirit. Keep yourselves in the love of God and wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life.
The soul that journeys in the light and the truths of the Faith is safe against all error.
So my brothers and sisters in Christ, let us imitate the Pharisee’s good works by living out our faith in God, by being obedient to His Word, and by obeying His commandments and the teachings of the Church. And let us also imitate the tax collector’s spirit of humility by being remorseful, sorrowful and contrite for our sins and by asking God for mercy and forgiveness. Remember no true love of God can exist in a proud heart, but only in a humble and contrite heart.
Good Jesu, what will you do with my heart?
Woe to me if I do not preach and warn [sinners], for I would be held responsible for their condemnation.
The Lord who made the beginning will take care of the finish.
