Good Morning Children of Mary,
Today's Meditation is Jesus Appears to Simon Peter. Have a beautiful day today and a great week.
The Setting:
"The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon" (Luke 24, 34).
Prelude:
Picture St. Peter at the moment when he again beholds his Divine Master.
Prayer:
Blessed be Thou, O God of goodness and mercy, that Thou didst appear to Thy penitent disciple, with Thy own lips to assure him of pardon and flood his soul with an abundance of peace and grace. Praised be Thy Divine Wisdom for manifesting to him before all others Thy glorious resurrection, the foundation of our holy faith!
O Holy Apostle, we offer thee our felicitations to the happiness of being so highly favored by thy Divine Master. Obtain for us the reverence and humility, the burning and ineffable love that filled thy heart on beholding thy Lord and God. Confirm in us faith, hope, and gratitude, that we may say with Psalmist; "Bless the Lord, O my soul, Who forgiveth all thy iniquities, who redeemeth thy life from destruction, who crowneth thee with mercy and compassion" (Ps. 102).
Resolution:
I will strive to atone for my past faults by greater love.
Spiritual Bouquet:
"The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a contrite heart."
Jesus Mercy! Mary Help!
