“Our Lord loves you and loves you tenderly; and if He does not let you feel the sweetness of His love, it is to make you more humble and abject in
your own eyes.”
-St. Pio of Pietrelcino
Today’s Reflection
What are your reactions to God’s love? Do you embrace it and accept it, regardless of whether you feel its sweetness? Or do you reject it when you do not feel its consolations? Spend some time letting God love you today, even if you do not feel it initially.

“Jesus does not say ‘no’ to the authentic demands of the heart, but only a clear, loud ‘yes’ to life, to love, to freedom, to peace and to hope. With Him no goal is impossible and even a small act of generosity grows and can lead to change.”
-St. John Paul the Great
Today’s Reflection
What are the demands of my heart? Are they demands that desire God’s will alone, or are they demands that have grown from my own desires to serve myself?

“Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier.”
-St. Teresa of Calcutta
Today’s Reflection
