With all the strength of my soul I urge you young people to approach the Communion table as often as you can. Feed on this bread of angels whence you will draw all the energy you need to fight inner battles. Because true happiness, dear friends, does not consist in the pleasures of the world or in earthly things, but in peace of conscience, which we have only if we are pure in heart and mind.

"The best way to economize time is to 'lose' half an hour each day attending Holy Mass."

Sweet Jesus! Gentle Jesus! My God and my All! Have mercy on all souls redeemed by Your precious blood. Inflame them with the arrow of Your love in order to make them grateful for the love that urged You to give Yourself to us in the Blessed Sacrament.

I beg our dear Jesus Crucified to attach us firmly to His Cross so that we may be closely united to Him by His love and that our little sufferings and the little we accomplish may be in and for His love…

Can you expect to go to heaven for nothing? Did not our Savior track the whole way to it with His tears and blood? And yet you stop at every little pain.

The stillness of prayer is the most essential condition for fruitful action. Before all else, the disciple kneels down.

Jesus is with me. I have nothing to fear.

Each one can take her stand at the foot of the cross, in the presence of God and, if she has nothing to say to Him, let her wait till He speaks to her. If He should leave her there, let her remain there willingly and await from His bounty the grace either of speaking or of listening to Him.

Do we too see Him?

Do we too see Him?

Do we too see Him?

Do we too see Him?

Do we too see Him?

Do we too see Him?

Do we too see Him?

Do we too see Him?

Do we too see Him?

Do we too see Him?

Do we too see Him?

Do we too see Him?

Do we recognize Him in the crucified peoples who surround us, and stand faithfully by them?

F R . R O B E R T P. M A L O N E Y, C . M .

Lord Jesus, Who was born for us in a stable, lived for us a life of pain and sorrow, and died for us upon a cross; say for us in the hour of death, Father, forgive, and to Your Mother, Behold your child. Say to us, This day you shall be with Me in paradise. Dear Savior, leave us not, forsake us not. We thirst for You, Fountain of Living Water. Our days pass quickly along, soon all will be consummated for us. To Your hands we commend our spirits, now and forever.

Amen
