“Christ shines into the bottom of the
humble heart; for Christ is always moved by helplessness whenever a man complains of it and lays it before Him with humility.”
-Blessed Jan Van Ruysbroeck
For Reflection:
Am I willing to admit that I am helpless? Where am I helpless today? Can I lay it before Christ and wait patiently for His light to shine within me that I might find His way and His truth?
