Ninth Day
Holiness is Jesus Living and Acting
in Me
Our works of charity are nothing but the overflow of God from within us. Therefore, the one who is most united to Him loves her neighbor the most.
Our activity is truly apostolic only in so far as we permit Him to work in us and through us with His power, with His desire, with His love. We must become holy not because we want to feel holy, but because Christ must be able to live His life fully in us. Let us spend ourselves with Him and for Him. Let Him see with your eyes, speak with your tongues, work with your hands, walk with your feet, think with your head and love with your heart. Is this not perfect union, a continual loving prayer?
God is our loving Father Let your light of love so shine before man that seeing your good works (the washing, sweeping, cooking, and loving your husband and the children) they may glorify the Father. Be holy. Holiness is the easiest was to satiate Jesus thirst, His for you and yours for Him.
Thought for the day: Charity for each other is the surest way to great holiness
Ask
for the grace to become a saint
Prayer to Blessed Teresa of Calcutta:
Blessed Teresa of Calcutta, you allowed the thirsting love of Jesus on the Cross to become a living flame within you, and so became the light of his love to all. Obtain from the Heart of Jesus the grace to become a saint through our commitments to Kepha, our daily prayers, monthly retreats, our anchors, verse reviews and by obeying our parents. Teach me to allow Jesus to penetrate and possess my whole being so completely that my life, too, may radiate his light and love to others. Amen.
Immaculate Heart of Mary, Cause of Our Joy, pray for us.
Blessed Teresa of Calcutta, pray for us.
Please add to your prayers:
For the healing of Melissa Savoie and Bonnie Nelson all those who suffer from tumors and cancer or recovering from surgery.
