St. Catherine of Siena Novena – Day One
From a letter to Frate Giusto di Giovanni da Volterra:
“He gave His blood out of love and it is with this love that He asks us for a drink. I mean that Jesus, who loves, is asking to be loved and served. It is only right that the one who loves ought to be loved. This is how we give our Creator a drink: when we give Him love for love. But we cannot give it to Him through any service we can render...

Ninth Day – “The souls who have become lukewarm.“
“Today bring to Me the Souls who have become lukewarm, and immerse them in the abyss of My mercy. These souls wound My Heart most painfully.

Most compassionate Jesus, You are Compassion...

PoC-46 Holy Saturday: The Power of the Cross Lenten Meditation
Taking Up Our Cross. . .Be Not Afraid
Steps to Take as You Follow Christ
Ask—Is life a series of “gifts” from God or tragedies?
Seek—Encounter the empty tombs of life with the expectation that they are signs of the Risen Christ.
Knock—Meditate on 1 John 4:18–19.
There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and he who fears is not perfected in love. We love, because he first loved us.
How do you view the e...
