Learning To Pray

"—Today is the day you are going to be healed! Jesus is in town!, said Jonathan.

—Are you bringing him here?, asked Zaccaria from his bed;

—Nope! Actually you are going to see him. I'm taking you out of here, said Jonathan holding a few ropes in his hands. Joel and Joshua arrived at that point;

—Let's do it!, Joel shouted.

Jonathan knew that today was going to be a memorable one and said: Yeah, he will do it!" (Joel-Isaiah McIntyre)

"Don't let your life be barren. Be useful. Make yourself felt. Shine forth with the torch of your faith and your love.

With your apostolic life, wipe out the trail of filth and slime left by the corrupt sowers of hatred. And set aflame all the ways of the earth with the fire of Christ that you bear in your heart." (St Josemaria)

"First of all you apostolic soul; first of all you." (St Josemaria)

What makes you exceptional is what the Lord said in the last lines of the sermon of the mountain if you practice it and make it a reality in your daily life.

I desire to go to the utmost depths of silence until I reach where only God is; where not even the angels can enter without our permission... and there, to adore God, to praise him and tell him loving things." (Blessed Guadalupe Ortiz de Landázuri)

Depending on the attitude you approach Jesus with amazing things will or will not happen to you.

This meditation invites to take action in the most important thing of our lives: Holiness.

"And he who had received the five talents came forward, bringing five talents more, saying, ‘Master, you delivered to me five talents; here, I have made five talents more.’ 21 His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant.[c] You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.’" (St Matthew)

"My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong." (St Paul)
