Jesus told Martha,

“Martha, Martha!

You are worried and troubled over so many things,

but just one is needed.”

REFLECTION…

.

The most important thing in our life

is a close relationship with our Lord.

.

Every Christian should strive to attain an integrated life

– an intense life of both prayer and action,

always orientated towards God,

and practised with upright intentions out of love for Him.

QUOTE…

.

“Inspire our actions, Lord, and accompany them by Your help,

so that our every word and act may always have its beginning in You

and in You be brought to completion.”

– translation from the Latin* of a beautiful invocation from the Christian tradition.

REPETITIVE PRAYER FOR TODAY…

.

Lord Jesus, if I don’t have You, I have nothing,

and all that I may gain is lost…without You.

Lord, I entrust my all to You.
