Let us trust in Him who has placed this burden upon us. What we ourselves cannot bear let us bear with the help of Christ. For He is all-powerful, and He tells us: 'My yoke is easy, and my burden light.’
The zeal of Thy house hath eaten me up.
Do not be ashamed to confess the cross, for angels glory in it.
I served Christ in life; I will not deny Him in death.
My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, as we celebrate the Solemnity of the Ascension of Christ into heaven today, let us wake up from our spiritual slumber, keep our eyes fixed on God who loves us and who is always with us; and let us tirelessly and relentlessly work hard to deepen our faith in God and fulfill our mission to evangelize the world through witnessing to Christ.
And Mary said, 'Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word.' And the angel departed from her.” - Luke 1:38
I place trust in God, my creator, in all things; I love Him with all my heart.
The Mass is the most perfect form of prayer.
Blessed are they who suffer persecution for justice’ sake for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.
God, in His promises to hear our prayers, is desirous to bestow Himself upon us.
My brothers and sisters in Christ, as Jesus told us in today’s gospel reading that “Whoever loves me will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our dwelling with him,” let us love Him all the more by listening to His word; by accepting His word and by keeping His word.
It is God's hand which has guided everything, and it is God whom we must thank above all.
God’s power creates us, His wisdom governs us, His mercy saves us.
Love God above all things.
