St. Paul

Saint Paul's conversion begins in humility. He turns to God in his nothingness:
"What do you want me to do?"
Prayerful humility is the nourishment and root of his conversion;
persevering humility is what completes it.

Holiness

Real holiness is to be found specifically in conformity to God's will and in complete self-abandonment.

Jesus Master

May Jesus be the master of the house;
loved, listened to, followed and always looked upon as Way, Truth, Life.
May the Virgin Mary be the Mother of the household.
Grow more in knowledge, imitation and love of Saint Paul.

Epiphany

Englightened by God, the Magi began to understand that not human greatness or pomp elevate us, but humility. They understood the teaching of the Child: he wanted them to be humble and simple.

Prayer Life

Prayer life is the building block of every structure: from the material to the intellectual. It is so for the apostolate as for the sanctification of the individual.

Thought for the Day

Saint Thomas notes that to take delight in the word of God, in a spirit of faith, prepares for the vision of God in heaven. It is a necessary and decisive step.

venerdì 31 luglio 2009

The tendency to laziness, or at least to a lack of attention and to sluggishness in our work is called sloth. The slothful person seeks to avoid all effort and whatever requires toil. Work preserves us from many vices, as well as from useless or bad thoughts.
I am identified with Christ: His affairs are mine; His intentions, mine; I speak His words; my doctrine is His; my life is that of Christ; I complete the works of Christ; or better, it is Christ that completes His works for me.

Preghiera

Signore, glorifica nella tua Chiesa il Beato Giacomo Alberione. Sia per noi tutti esempio e intercessore nel cammino della nostra santificazione e del nostro impegno apostolico. Apri le vie dell'evangelizzazione affinché la presenza di Gesù Maestro, Via e Verità e Vita, si irradi nel mondo per mezzo di Maria, Madre e Regina degli Apostoli. Concedimi le grazie che ora ti chiedo...
Padre nostro, Ave Maria, Gloria... O Gesù Maestro, Via e Verità e Vita, abbi pietà di noi.
Regina degli Apostoli, prega per noi.
San Paolo Apostolo, prega per noi.
Beato Giacomo Alberione, prega per noi.
Da ogni peccato, liberaci o Signore.
