Thought Of the Day

“”

"I will follow you wherever you go" (Mt 8:19)

You, the exhilaration of my spirit; you, the praise of my heart and mouth, my Jesus: I will follow you wherever you go. Now that you have claimed my heart and possessed it as your own, for eternity you cannot be taken away from me. (…) "This is the generation of those who seek the Lord, who seek the face of the God of Jacob." (Ps 23[24]:6). Make me, dulcet Jesus, to be listed and numbered in the generation of those who cherish you, God of Israel; among the generation of those who seek your face, God of Jacob; in the generation of those who cherish you, God of hosts. Ah! That I, (…) with clean hands and a clean heart, may accept your blessing and mercy, God, my Savior. (…) Lamb of God, on this way where I walk, hold my right hand lest I grow faint. Lamb of God, make me faithfully fulfill with your co-operation what I have begun in your name. Lamb of God, do not let my sins hinder me but let your compassion move me forward in all these things. O Christ hear me; at the hour of my death gladden me in your salvation.
