21st March - Bl. Maria Candida of the Eucharist
My Divine Eucharist, my dear Hope, all our hope is in You.
My Divine Eucharist, my dear Hope, all our hope is in You.
The foundation of greatest perfection is the fraternal charity.
O, Saint Joseph, how great was your faith!
Certainly in times of tranquility the cross should give you joy.
If I have any worth, it is to live my life for God.
True holiness consists of the renunciation of ourselves, following completely our common life and the exact fulfilment of all the duties that obedience imposes on us.
My dear brothers and sisters, let us pray in today’s Eucharistic celebration that we will deepen and strengthen our faith and belief in God this Lenten season by working hard in our spiritual lives so as to continue to trust and hope in Him even in these difficult times in our world today.
Receive everything from the hands of God, and see the image of God in everyone.
Be humble and poor on earth, that you may be rich in heaven.
I unite my sufferings to yours, Jesus.
Let us not fear suffering, but embrace it as a path to Christ.
Love never says I have done enough.
He prays always who lives well.
My brothers and sisters in Christ, it is time to change our lives and truly repent of our sins. It is time to say "yes" to God and sincerely go back to Him this Lenten season by Hearing His word, by Accepting His word we have heard; and by Putting the Word of God we have heard and accepted into practice in our daily lives.
Stand fast in the faith, and love one another, all of you, and be not offended at my sufferings.
