“We still have one short question to answer: 'How are Catholic women to accomplish their providential role as spiritual mothers (with Mary) of the human race?' The answer is simplicity itself.  Like Mary –

• They are to know Jesus from daily intimacy with Him in prayer
• They are to receive Jesus by often receiving Him into their hearts
• They are to love Jesus, by spending themselves in serving the needs of Christ's children as they have never done before.”

-Fr. John A Hardon, S.J.

Today’s Reflection:

Fr. John A Hardon tells us that there is no substitute for growing in knowledge of Christ through prayer. He also tells us that if we are to fulfill our awesome mission, we must strive to be united with Jesus by receiving Him often in the Eucharist and welcoming Him into our hearts.

Lastly, he explains that love is proved through service.

Ask the Holy Spirit to show you which of these three areas you are being called to grow in. Then move forward boldly to know, receive, and love Jesus!
