TAKING UP THE CROSS

Don’t fear the cross. God is our Father and he always matches it to our strength; from it oozes the divine Blood which regenerates us and is the fount of all the joys reserved for us above. Ah, do you see that it’s true that misfortunes and crosses bring us ever closer to God?

Pain draws us to him in such a way t h a t c o m p a r e d t o d i v i n e consolation, the comfort and help of creatures is eclipsed and all their words, as good, charitable, and kind as they are, are almost useless and cold to us and leave an emptiness in our soul. We need God alone, he alone knows the secret for comforting our battered heart, and in him alone will we always find the true comfort for our ills.

Sometimes prayer will seem difficult to you; but now that your heart is wounded, you feel the need for this gentle balm which alone can stop the blood that flows from it; isn’t it really like this? Then abandon yourself trustingly to ; suffering, bathed with tears, has great power over that tender and most loving Heart… The Heart of Jesus will be with you, no doubt, and someday he will repay a hundredfold what you have suffered for him. Be cheerful then and know that every new opportunity to suffer is money with which you can buy a little peace and comfort and special graces for your own soul, in the trials and struggles which will accompany you until death.

On the Feast of Corpus Christi –The Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ (new) at the 11am Mass, the elect and candidates of R.C.I.A., received sacraments of the Church.

Each then received the Holy Eucharist on the feast of Corpus Christi-a day full of grace, joy and celebration.
