TODAY’S WORD…

.

The Lord is my shepherd;

there is nothing I shall want.

Fresh and green are the pastures

where He gives me repose.

Near restful waters He leads me,

to revive my drooping spirit.

.

He guides me along the right path;

He is true to His name.

If I should walk in the valley of darkness

no evil would I fear.

.

You are there with Your crook and Your staff;

with these You give me comfort.

.

– Psalm 23:1-4 (JB)

.

.

QUOTE…

.

“Do everything calmly and peacefully.

Do as much as you can as well as you can.

Strive to see God in all things without exception,

and consent to His will joyously.

.

Do everything for God,

uniting yourself to Him in word and deed.

Walk very simply with the Cross of the Lord

and be at peace with yourself.”

.

– St. Francis de Sales

but with You by my side and in my heart,

a living being,

created in Your image and likeness,

and filled with Your Spirit.

Guide me, Lord,

fill me with hope.

Love me, Lord,

fill me with joy.

Comfort me, Lord,

fill me with peace.

I love You, Lord.

FROM THE CATECHISM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH…

.

“This Kingdom shines out before men in the word, in the works and in the presence of Christ.”(LumenGentium)

To welcome Jesus’ word is to welcome the Kingdom itself.

.

The seed and beginning of the Kingdom

are the “little flock” of those whom Jesus came to gather around Him,

the flock whose shepherd He is.

They form Jesus’ true family.

.

To those whom He thus gathered around Him,

He taught a new way of acting and a prayer of their own..

[CCC 764]
