to you His physical appearance as He was in the world. His features were so beautiful that no one looked at His Face without feeling joy and consolation, even when depressed.”-The Blessed Virgin to St. Bridget of Sweden
For Reflection:
Could it be that this is why Pope John Paul II asked us to meditate on the Holy Face of Jesus? Practice doing so in your time of prayer today. Journal any consolation or grace that you receive. Consider the fact that Jesus took on Mary’s flesh. In light of this, what does this quote reveal to us about Mary as well? Reread St. Maximilian Kolbe’s quote for January 16. Journal any new inspirations or insights.
