She may fashion you

Posted on June 3, 2021 by Women of Grace Staff

June 3

“I have placed you in the care of my holy Mother, as a deposit in trust, so that she may fashion you according to my pattern.”

-Jesus to St. Margaret Mary Alocoque

Today’s Reflection

Read Psalm 139: 13-16. Consider the way a baby is “fashioned” by God in the womb of its mother. Now, think of God fashioning you in this way spiritually within the heart of Mary according to the pattern of His Son. Why is Mary the perfect “place” for us to be entrusted? What would mark the maternal care she would provide for those given to her by her Son?

Preserve Peace of Heart

Posted on June 2, 2021 by Women of Grace Staff

June 2

“But above all preserve peace of heart. This is more valuable than any treasure. In order to preserve it there is nothing more useful than renouncing your own will and substituting for it the will of the divine heart. In this way his will can carry out for us whatever contributes to his glory, and we will be happy to be his subjects and to trust entirely in him.”

-St Margaret Mary Alacoque

Today’s Reflection:

What do you hold onto in your life that is simply a desire of your own will? What in your life isn’t of God, something that isn’t God’s will? How can you trust Him more today with His will and relinquish your own?

Our Lord’s earnest desire

Posted on June 1, 2021 by Women of Grace Staff

June 1

“It seems to me that our Lord’s earnest desire to have His Sacred Heart honored in a special way is directed toward renewing the effects of redemption in our souls. For the Sacred Heart is an inexhaustible fountain and its sole desire is to pour itself out into the hearts of the humble so as to free them and prepare them to lead lives according to his good pleasure.”

– St. Margaret Mary Alacoque

Today’s reflection:

In what one way can I honor Jesus more during this month of June dedicated to His Sacred Heart? (Some options may include enthroning your home to the Sacred Heart, spending time before the Eucharistic Presence on a regular basis, participating in First Friday devotions.)

Pray the Rosary

May 30

“Pray the Rosary for children, and even more, with children, training them from their earliest years to experience this daily pause for prayer with the family, is admittedly not the solution to every problem, but it is a spiritual aid which should not be underestimated.”

-St. John Paul II, Rosarium Virginis Mariae

Today’s Reflection:

Prayer of the Holy Rosary can be a powerful weapon in your spiritual arsenal, particularly as a spiritual mother. How can you make use of the Rosary more regularly as a means of intercession for your family, friends, and spiritual children?

The virgin shall be with child

Posted on May 28, 2021 by Women of Grace Staff

May 28

“Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin shall be with child, and bear a son, and shall name him Immanuel.”

-Isaiah 7:14

Today’s Reflection:

Mary is the Ark of the New Covenant, Jesus. She is also mother of the Church. This makes her your mother. How can you more fully embrace her maternal care for you and all of those you love? How can you imitate her in your own spiritual maternity to those that God has entrusted to you?

Posted on May 27, 2021 by Women of Grace Staff

May 27

“Women, you do know how to make truth sweet, tender and accessible, make it your task to bring the spirit of this council into institutions, schools, homes and daily life. Women of the entire universe, whether Christian or non-believing, you to whom life is entrusted at this grave moment in history, it is for you to save the peace of the world.”

-To Women, Vatican Council II Closing Speeches and Messaged, Pope Paul VI

Today’s Reflection:

Do you believe Church fathers when they say “it is for you to save the peace of the world?” What is one practical daily strategy you can employ help the world to be more peaceful?
