Blog Post 9/04/2022 - Salesian Saturday Reflection

 

On the first Saturday of the month Salesian Saturday is offered at Our Lady of Perpetual Help [Bethlehem, PA], 8:00 am Mass, 8:30 am to 9:00 am a discussion with coffee and donuts, the morning is concluded with Eucharist Adoration 9:00 am to 10:00 am 

Yesterday September 3 we discussed, Recognize the goodness of God’s will.

We cannot help conforming ourselves to those we love. True love is never ungrateful but strives to please those in whom it has found pleasure.  Thus, having great love, the saints are very quickly and perfectly transformed, since love transports and translates the manners and dispositions of one heart into another.

God has a true desire that we should follow His signified will but permits us to resist according to our free choice. A loving heart loves the commandments. The more difficult they are, the sweeter and more agreeable it finds them, since this more perfectly pleases the Beloved and gives Him greater honor.

“Charity does nothing in vain” (Cf. 1 Cor. 13:8) – Charity is sacred water by which the garden of the Church is made fertile.

Finding God’s Will for You by St. Francis de Sales.   These reflections are offered by Father Richard Conlin.

Today spend some time reflect on the Goodness of God.

May God Be Praised!
