26th March - St. Margaret Clitherow
I die for the love of my Lord Jesus.
I die for the love of my Lord Jesus.
Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word. (Luke 1:38)
Saint Aldemar, you were a good priest, spiritual director, abbot, founder of many monasteries and miracle worker, pray for me that I may faithfully serve God in any capacity He wills me to and to bring His children closer to Him like you did. Amen!
It is impossible to follow both the world and Jesus. Let us live a life of renunciation, for our bodies will soon be dust and nothing else will last any longer.
Do everything for love of God and to please Him.
We have come to teach you to believe in Christ.
We are born to love, we live to love, and we will die to love still more.
Your accumulated offenses surpass not the multitude of God’s mercies: your wounds surpass not the great Physician’s skill.
I am certain in my heart that all that I am, I have received from God.
I irrevocably resolve to love and serve Him with greater fidelity and to give myself entirely to Him.
Live in the presence of God and in union with God, to receive everything from God’s hands, to do everything out of pure love and the glory of God.
Never think of what you have been, nor say to yourself that you are of royal extraction. Be humble and poor on earth, that you may be rich in heaven.
I will never serve. You can cut off my head, but I will not be a soldier of this world, for I am a soldier of Christ.
Always receive with equal contentment from God’s hand either consolations or sufferings, peace or distress, health or illness.
Love never says ‘I have done enough.’
