Dear Brothers and Sisters,
This past week has been filled with many feelings and thoughts about the grand jury report on child sexual abuse by priests in Pennsylvania. We must continue to pray for all victims of sexual abuse, and for the Church to make sure that our children and vulnerable adults are al-ways kept safe. I came across this reflection in Give Us This Day: Daily Prayer for Today’s Catholic. It is a reflection written by Mechthild of Magdeburg (ca. 1208-1282). She left behind her noble family as a young woman to take up the life of a Beguine. A mystic, she received the greeting of the Holy Spirit daily for over three decades, writing these messages as The Flowing Light of the Godhead.
Abundant Grace for Every Good Work
Here’s what’s best for you to do in these unique situations:
When you pray, be humble. When you confess, be honest. When you do penance, do it indefatigably. When you eat, be sensible. When you sleep, be disciplined. When you’re alone, be faithful. When you’re with others, be discreet. When someone teaches you good manners, be receptive. When someone reprimands you for your mistakes, be patient. When you do something bad, ask forgiveness immediately. When you’re full of self-absorbed pride, fear for the health of your soul. When you’re sad, trust in God completely. When you’re doing manual work, work hard, because hard work drives off every evil thought.
You are in my daily thoughts and prayers. Have a great day, and a wonderful and blessed week.
