A Daily Dose of God

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

St. Augustine said, “You have made us for your self, Lord, and our hearts are restless until they rest in you.” 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 St. Francis de Sales wrote, “I see good in you and am happy for your sake.  I choose and act to make your goodness grow for your sake.”

 

How can we grow in God’s likeness and learn to submit to God’s will?

 

1.    Resolve to cooperate with God’s Will because you are made in God’s image and likeness. 

2.    Obey God’s commandments out of love for Him.

3.    Serve God in the circumstances in which He places you.

4.    Keep a steady course in the pursuit of holiness.

5.    The Divine Will is worthy of our love.

6.    Never cease to aim for perfection

7.    Practice the counsels of poverty, chastity and obedience

8.    Be open to God’s inspirations, if we humbly obey, God will guide us.

 

In conclusion, remember, “The measure of love is to love without measure.”  [St. Francis de Sales]  You cannot love God to much, so love God with all your heart, all your mind and with all your soul.

 

May God Be Praised!

 

 

Cry out from the depths of your heart to the Lord.  Hear my cry!  “Lord, listen to my prayer: turn your ear to my appeal.” [Psalm 143]   God, You are our refuge and our hope, I turn to you during this COVID 19 Pandemic and plead for Your intercession.  In Your mercy and Your compassion “… grant eternal rest to the dead, comfort to mourners, healing to the sick ….” [Collect from Mass Time in Pandemic]

 

Provide strength to the first responders, compassion to the medical personnel, and wisdom to government leaders.  End this coronavirus scourge.  Bring Your light to all who wander in the darkness of this pandemic and give us hope in Your eternal love today and every day.  Amen.  [Dcn. George Kelly]
