Words written in red; Words of Jesus

So the soldiers did this. But standing by the cross of Jesus were his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Mag'dalene. When Jesus saw his mother, and the disciple whom he loved standing near, he said to his mother, "Woman, behold, your son!" Then he said to the disciple, "Behold, your mother!" And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home.

John 19: 25 – 27

(After Holy Communion)The most solemn moments of your life are those spent in thanksgiving, when the King of heaven and earth, your Savior and your judge, is yours, fully and inclined to grant you all you ask. Having received Jesus and enthroned Him in your heart, remain quiet for a moment, not praying in words but resting in silent adoration; like Zacheus and Magdalen, prostrate yourself in spirit with the most holy Virgin at the feet of Jesus; contemplate Him, filled with wonder at the sight of His love.– St. Peter Julian Eymard

Abba, Father, Lord God, humble, thankful, always looking to Jesus for direction and guidance so I may walk in His ways according to His teachings dying to myself as often as it takes to become and be one with You Lord God, Abba Father. O that You would bless me and mine, and enlarge our territory to serve You, keeping us from evil and from causing pain. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

But that's not always been the case.
