Beloved Jesus ... Yesterday, in the kind of spirituality, holiness and talked about how we all have the vocation to be saints ... so that the Father created us to be able to get one day a heavenly home ... but, how hard is this path to perfection and far are we to do! ...
Yesterday, while Ivan told us of the wonders of Heaven, thinking how unworthy I am ... how Ivan would say: "Lord, is what I am lazy!" ... And while they came to my mind my many faults, I thought that a sinner like me can not aspire to holiness ... Lord, would not be able to take one step if it were not for Your Grace! ... and yet you've put this desire in my heart ... it was then that I remembered what he said Santa Teresita, that You do not put a heart desires in the soul can not keep ...
So this day is special ... today we can look at all those who came before us ... people of flesh and bone, with the same weaknesses and passions of mine ... but who knew how to persevere, striving every day ... getting up after each fall ... and the time and helped by Thy Grace, could achieve that wonderful goal of holiness ... and you could see your face ... and next to the Virgin and the angels, worship, bless, praise and glorify you for all eternity ...
HYMN
Ye the seed Patriarchs
the tree of faith in remote centuries,
the divine conqueror of death
beg him for us.Rend inspired Prophets
the mysterious veil of the future,
which brought the light of darkness
beg him for us.Simple souls, Holy Innocents
to magnify the choir of angels,
who called the children at her side
beg him for us.Apostles, whom ye in the world
the foundation of the Church powerful
which is the depositary of the truth
beg him to us.You won your palm Martyrs
in the arena, in blood red,
which is the source of life and beauty
beg him for us.Monks of life in combat
you asked for peace to quiet cloister,
iris that is calm in the storms
beg him for us.Doctors whose feathers left us
of virtue and knowledge rich treasure
that science is inexhaustible torrent
beg him for us.Army Soldiers of Christ
all saints,
beg him to forgive our sins
one who lives and reigns with you.
