‘In Psalm 34, David says, for God’s glory and for the eternal glory of hope even within our hearts today, “I sought the Lord, who answered me and delivered me from all my fears.” I will bless the Lord always.

Father, may you be blessed always for your eternal compassionate love and mercy for your children, for my heart and all that you have fulfilled within me. May you be blessed for the hope in the impossible that you give us, which only you can fulfill.’

“My son, I love you and all of my children. My heart cries in love and mercy to receive you. Yet as I say, so many continue to deny me, to walk in choices of the darkness, not in the goodness of the light that I give to this world and that I gave through my son Jesus as a sacrifice.

Pray for the strength each day that you may live the power and the victory of the Holy Cross through the gifts of faith, hope and love that I give you.”

‘Yes, Father, lead me as you desire and may your eternal love sanctify my soul daily, for I am weak and imperfect and in need. I need your help in all things. Let me not die without fulfilling my mission and may humility guide me on my path through the great joys and fruits of love.’
