Come in Glory:
Merciful Jesus, help me to see how every choice of the good and every rejection of evil is an act of dying that will lead to resurrection. By such acts may our Church proclaim your death until you come in glory and draw to yourself all those who have longed for your coming.
Selfless - Service:
To serve God fully out of love is never easy. Our impure motives tend to look for attention and affirmation which distract us from our deep desires for genuine services. Never be discouraged; no one is perfect; try to focus on loving God in whatever you do, think and say.
Never Too Late:
It is never too late to give up our fears and prejudices. No way of thinking or doing, however ancient, can be trusted without proof. What everybody echoes or in silence passes by as true today may turn out to be falsehood tomorrow, mere smoke of opinion, which some had trusted for a cloud that would sprinkle rain on their fields. What other people say you cannot do, you try and find that you can. Old deeds for old people, and new deeds for new.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
When it's God Who is speaking ... the proper way to behave is to imitate someone who has an irresistible curiosity and who listens at keyholes. You must listen to everything God says at the keyhole of your heart.
- St. John Vianney
