HEART OF JESUS, HOUSE OF GOD AND GATE OF HEAVEN,
HAVE MERCY ON US.

Something came to me last night during Vigils, when the Abbess was proclaiming the Gospel of today. It was this: "Give it up for Jesus." What is it that you need to give up, interiorly or exteriorly, so as not to be encumbered by the one thing you are lacking? Jesus tells us this: Go, sell what you have, and give it to the poor and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me (Mk 10:21). Jesus is in charge. Our Lord looks at each one of us and loves us (Mk 10:21). Just when you think you cannot give up one more thing, remember, "All things are possible for God" (Mk 10:27). 

SAINT PAULINUS,
SAINT DANIEL COMBONI,
SAINT JOSEPH,
PRAY FOR US. 

Today's photo: Away from Redwoods Monastery and in another monastery for several days, I returned to find this in our garden of delights.
