‘May Your Presence, Prince of Peace, bless the world with peace, the poor with care and prosperity, the despairing with Hope and confidence, the grieving with comfort and gladness, the oppressed with freedom and deliverance, the suffering with solace and relief. Loving Jesus, You are the only real joy of every human heart. I place my trust in You.
Oh divine fruit of Mary’s womb, May I love you in Union with the Holy Mother of God. May my life be filled with the obedience of Saint Joseph and the missionary fervour of the shepherds, so that the witness of my life may shine like the star that leads the Magi to your manger. I ask all this with great confidence in Your Holy Name. Amen (Magnificat)
Looking about my uncluttered compact cottage on this Holiest of days, definitely my heart feels less cluttered too. What a blessing!!
The Lord answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things; one thing is needful. Mary has chosen the good portion, which shall not be taken away from her’.(Luke 10:41)
(I told our priest in the Sacrament of Confession yesterday that I fret far too much about my four fine sons. I always want them to be fine and it just doesn’t feel right!! He gifted me the above Bible verse. What a gift to my heart!)
