TODAY’S WORD…

.

Who will separate us from the love of Christ?

Will hardship, or distress, or persecution, or famine,

or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

.

No, in all these things we are more than conquerors

through Him who loved us.

– Romans 8:35,37 (NRSV)

.

.

.

REFLECTION…

.

This is the attitude which enables us

to live as children of God, who fear neither life nor death.

.

.

.

QUOTE…

.

"Our Lord wants us to be in the world

and to love the world

but without being worldly.

.

Our Lord wants us to remain in this world

(which is now so mixed up

and where the clamour of lust and disobedience

and purposeless rebellion can be heard)

to teach people to live with joy […].

.

Don’t be afraid of the paganized world:

our Lord has in fact chosen us to be leaven, salt and light in this world.

Don’t be worried.

The world won’t harm you unless you want it to.

No enemy of our soul can do anything if we don’t consent.

And we won’t consent,

with the grace of God and the protection of our Mother in heaven."

.

– S. Bernal, "Monsignor Josemaria Escriva de Balaguer"

REPETITIVE PRAYER FOR TODAY…

.

Lord, make me more than a conqueror

– don’t let anything separate me from You!
