Interacting with Jesus:
Relationship means interaction. In practice, then, this means that we decide and choose to interact with Jesus Christ in every area of our life—in family and social life, in business and politics; in short, we make Jesus Christ an active participant in everything we do.
God’s Protective Love:
In today’s Gospel, Jesus prays to His Father to keep all believers united in His Love. Jesus showers us with abundant graces and also protects us from being harmed by the evils of the Spiritual and material world. We should never live in fear, but trust God more fully.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Love is sufficient of itself; it gives pleasure by itself and because of itself. It is its own merit, its own reward. Love looks for no cause outside itself, no effect beyond itself. Its profit lies in the practice.
- Saint Bernard of Clairvaux (1090-1153)
In dangers, in doubts, in difficulties, think of Mary, call upon Mary. Let not her name depart from your lips, never suffer it to leave your heart. And that you may more surely obtain the assistance of her prayer, neglect not to walk in her footsteps. With her for guide, you shall never go astray; while invoking her, you shall never lose heart; so long as she is in your mind, you are safe from deception; while she holds your hand, you cannot fall; under her protection you have nothing to fear; if she walks before you, you shall not grow weary; if she shows you favor, you shall reach the goal.
