“For us let it be enough to know ourselves to be in the place where God wants us, and carry on our work, even though it be no more than the work of an ant, infinitesimally small, and with unforeseeable results. Now is the hour of the garden and the night, the hour of the silent offering; therefore, the hour of hope: God alone, faceless, unknown, unfelt, yet undeniably God.”

         ~Abbe’ Father Jules Monchanin

For Reflection:

Am I in the place where God wants me? Is my work – though seemingly inconsequential at times, the work of our Lord? Am I the pencil in his hands? Is my alone time with Him full of Hope for His Mercy which endures forever?

DOCILITY AND GOOD DISPOSITIONS FOR MEETING JESUS 20.1 Faith and correspondence with grace.  Our souls need purification in order for us to see Jesus. My soul is longing and pining for the courts of the Lord; my heart and my flesh sing for joy to the living God, we read in today's Mass. And to enter the dwelling of the Lord a soul has to be clean and humble.  For us to be able to see Jesus, good dispositions are needed.  Once again, this is what the Gospel of the Mass shows us.
