Reflection

I ask the good Lord and hope with heartfelt affection that you will persevere faithfully in the holy practice of the presence of God, which is the soul of prayer, meditation and all virtue. May humility and simplicity always be the hallmark of the little Brothers of Mary. Let a tender and filial devotion to our good Mother be your inspiration at all times and in all circumstances. She is the first Superior of the whole Society. (from the Spiritual Testament of St. Marcellin Champagnat)

Call to mind the foundation on which your life rests.

Remember now those people and concerns that are dear to you and entrust them to God.
