Holy, holy, holy Lord, mighty God!
JESUS, SON OF THE LIVING GOD,
HAVE MERCY ON US.
Praise for our hearts and lips come from the Book of Revelation: "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God almighty, who was, and who is, and who is to come ... worthy are you, Lord our God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things; because of your will they came to be and were created" (Rev 4:8,11).
If in prayer we understand that each day given by God is a call, our hearts will then widen and we will accept everything. We will learn how to say: 'What you want, Lord. Promise me only that You will be present every step of my way ... Lord, what you want, when You want, and how You want'.
(Pope Francis, General Audience, November 18, 2020)
SAINT ROSE PHILIPPINE DUCHESNE,
