Good Morning Children of Mary,
Today is Monday, April 26th and our morning meditation is Jesus appears to His Apostles and Imparts His Peace. Have a beautiful day!
The Setting:
"Now whilst they were speaking these things, Jesus stood in the midst of them, and saith to them: 'Peace be to you; it is I; fear not'" (Luke24, 36).
Prelude:
Behold the risen Saviour in the midst of the assembled disciples, wishing them peace.
Prayer:
O Divine Prince of Peace, not only to Thy Apostles didst Thou leave the precious gift of peace, but Thou didst leave it, also, to Thy faithful servants, as a secure heritage for all times. Couldst Thou have given us a more comforting assurance? How should it be possible for sorrow and misery to depress, or for trials to discourage, us, if the peace of Jesus Christ, surpassing all comprehension, dwells in our hearts? That it may always be my portion, I will endeavor to avoid carefully what might dim the purity of my soul. I will observe my Holy Rule with all possible fervor, as the expression of the Divine Will, and the law of His love, and will maintain interior and exterior tranquillity by holy recollection, at such a price to purchase the blessedness of inward peace by self-denial and complete surrender to the holy, amiable, and adorable Will of God.
Resolution:
In order to maintain peace with God, I will scrupulously avoid the slightest act of unfaithfulness.
Spiritual Bouquet:
"Lord, grant us Thy peace!"
Jesus Mercy! Mary Help!
