Help! I Had a Reiki Massage!
MB writes: “Not so long ago I had a Reiki massage – before I knew that this was an occult-based practice. Is it possible that I might have been spiritually harmed by this?”
See yourself as God sees you
January 2
“The hand that assumed clay to make our flesh deigned to assume a body for your salvation. That the Creator is in his creature and God is in the flesh brings dignity to man without dishonour to him who made him. Why then, man, are you so worthless in your own eyes and yet so precious to God?”
-St. Peter Chrysologus
Enter the cave of Bethlehem
January 1
Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God
“Arise, all ye nobles and peasants; Mary invites all, rich and poor, just and sinners, to enter the cave of Bethlehem, to adore and to kiss the feet of her new-born Son. Go in, then, all ye devout souls; go and see the Creator of heaven and earth on a little hay, under the form of a little Infant; but so beautiful that he sheds all around rays of light. Now that he is born and is lying on the straw, the cave is no longer horrible, but is become a paradise. Let us enter; let us not be afraid.”
-St. Alphonsus Liguori
