April 23

“The soul of woman must be expansive and open to all human beings, it must be quiet so that no small weak flame will be extinguished by stormy winds; warm so as not to benumb fragile buds… empty of itself, in order that extraneous life may have room in it; finally, mistress of itself and also of its body, so that the entire person is readily at the disposal of every call.”

-St. Teresa Benedicta

Today’s Reflection:

Is your heart open, or has it become closed by bitterness? Bitterness can keep us from being ready to see the brokenness in others and prevent us from being gentle enough to help bring healing. Pray that God will remove any bitterness and open your heart to the needs of His people.
