What, then, does God watch with pleasure and delight? The man that is fighting for Him against riches, against the world, against hell, against himself.

Words of Jesus

And Jesus came and said to them, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, to the close of the age."

Matthew 28:16-20

What, then, does God watch with pleasure and delight? The man that is fighting for Him against riches, against the world, against hell, against himself.

— St Louis de Montfort

Abba, Father, Lord God, thank you for yesterday, for guiding me as I searched my soul to the root of who I am; as a child of God, You the Source of Source, a believer in and a disciple of Jesus Christ who together with You live in me through the Holy Spirit to help me grow in You and You in me, and a son of Anna and Joseph, brother to Ralph, Elisa Aurora and Rosemarie, husband to Ana and father to Kelly Alia and Richard Thomas. For I could not look at myself without You, but in You through Jesus I can and I can feel, and in feeling love. There is so much I do not know and may never understand, but I feel this, that just as with You in Jesus through the Spirit there needs to be less of me and You and Jesus, and so it is with Mom, Dad, Ralph, Aurora, Rosie, Annie, Kelly, Ricki and all those You bless me with; I need to feel love before I can be love and feeling love means dying to myself. O Lord grant me a discerning heart, guide me through this that I seek for You know my heart and what is best. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

that is, so that you may love your neighbor freely without expecting any return from him. And what you do to him I count it done to Me.

Words of Jesus

All things have been delivered to me by my Father; and no one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and any one to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.

Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."

Matthew 11:27, 28-30

God said: I have placed you in the midst of your fellows so that you may do to them what you cannot do to Me – that is, so that you may love your neighbor freely without expecting any return from him. And what you do to him I count it done to Me.

— St Catherine of Siena

Abba, Father, Lord God, O Lord that I would be blessed enough to walk in Your grace and mercy so that I will feel the love so that I can be love this day. That You would reveal Your will guiding and providing me with what I need to feel and be this for You today. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.
