MARY, QUEEN OF PEACE,
PRAY FOR US.
In brief for today, remember, as the psalmist sings, that the Lord is gracious and merciful ... He is near to all who call upon Him, to all who call upon Him in truth (Ps 145). Sing out, then, and rejoice, O earth, break forth into song, you mountains. For the Lord comforts His people, and shows mercy to His afflicted (Is 49:13).
God's will is to save us, and nothing pleases Him more than our coming back to Him with true repentance ...
He also taught us in many different ways that we should wish to imitate Him by our own kindness and genuine love for one another.
(From a letter by Saint Maximus the Confessor, abbot, in Office of Readings, Fourth Week of Lent, Wednesday)
SAINT JOHN CLIMACUS,
PRAY FOR US.
Today's photo: This one of a favorite tulip was taken yesterday morning. It greeted me, although it was not quite as awake as the daffodil you saw yesterday. Wake up you sleepy head, go on, get out of bed! 😊
