faithful perseverance in waiting for you,
and a hope of finally embracing you.

Today’s Reflection: O Heart of Jesus, what a great master you are, there is nothing to fear in journeying with you: you are for us the highest and most human expression of the love of God as well as of our love for God. Your love is so meek that your yoke is easy; it is so humble and condescending that it accepts the offering of the poor; it is so patient and compassionate that it goes more than half way to save us. — Marie Gérin-Lajoie.

Today’s Reflection: Lord, what am I when compared to this flower? What are you in giving this flower to me? How can I live my life to notice these simple gifts? The simple beauty of the flower stirs my need to know you better. I pray today, God, not to pretend to know you but to wait patiently as you reveal yourself to me over time. — from The Sacred Garden.
