Let us, therefore, celebrate the festival, not with the old leaven, the leaven of malice and evil, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

Words of Jesus

Being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God was coming, he answered them, "The kingdom of God is not coming with signs to be observed; nor will they say, `Lo, here it is!' or `There!' for behold, the kingdom of God is in the midst of you."

Luke 17:20-21

Every virtue in your soul is a precious ornament which makes you dear to God and to man. But holy purity, the queen of virtues, the angelic virtue, is a jewel so precious that those who possess it become like the angels of God in Heaven, even though clothed in mortal flesh.

— St. John Bosco

Abba, Father, Lord God, O Lord Jesus come; fill me with Your Spirit of obedience to God the Father, Your power of prayer, and liken my heart to Yours. Thank you for this day, bless those love ones that are not with me touching their hearts with Your grace and mercy and their spirits with the rest and peace of Your Words of Promise. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.
