MARY, QUEEN OF PEACE,

PRAY FOR US.

You will show me the path of life, the fullness of joy in your presence, O Lord.

(Communion Antiphon, Mass)

Let us pray today for help to keep God's commandments, and the greatest is this: Love the Lord God with your whole heart, your whole soul and all your strength, and love your neighbor as yourself. As the Lord says, "Whoever obeys and teaches these commandments will be called the greatest in the Kingdom of heaven" (Mt 5:19). We remain united in faith and prayer. 

If you say, "Show me your God," I will say to you, "Show me what kind of person you are, and I will show you my God." Show me then whether the eyes of your mind can see, and the ears of your heart hear ...

Hand yourself over to the doctor, and He will open the eyes of your mind and heart. Who is to be the doctor? It is God, who heals and gives life through His word and wisdom. 

(From the book addressed to Autolycus by Saint Theophilus of Antioch, bishop, in Office of Readings, Third Week of Lent, Wednesday)

Your words, Lord, are Spirit and life; you have the words of everlasting life.

(Verse before the Gospel, Mass)

SAINT TURIBIUS OF MONGROVEJO,

PRAY FOR US.
