Day 28 of Lent
Happy feast day of St. Patrick! Thank you for joining us today!
TODAY’ BIBLE VERSE:
LUKE 2:13-14
AND SUDDENLY THERE WAS WITH THE ANGEL A MULTITUDE OF THE HEAVENLY HOST PRAISING GOD AND SAYING, “GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST, AND ON EARTH PEACE AMONG MEN WITH WHOM HE IS PLEASED!”
For over a year now I have been reading on and off the Diary of Saint Maria Faustina. It is an excellent book – great for adoration or reflection. I highly recommend it. (Click here)
I came across this excerpt in her diary that I think speaks beautifully of this verse…
When during adoration, I repeated the prayer, ‘Holy God’ several times, a vivid presence of God suddenly swept over me, and I was caught up in spirit before the majesty of God. I saw how the Angels and the Saints of the Lord give glory to God. The glory of God is so great that I dare not try to describe it, because I would not be able to do so, and souls might think that what I have written is all there is. Saint Paul, I understand now why you did not want to describe heaven, but only said that eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor has it entered into the heart of man what God has prepared for those who love him. Now I have seen the way in which I adore God; oh how miserable it is! And what a tiny drop it is in comparison to that perfect heavenly glory.
Let us pray together…
Dear Holy Family,
you were present at the birth of that baby whose coming the shepherds heard the Angels singing about. St. Luke’s account has inspired countless artists to try to depict the glory found in a small infant. A glimpse of the glory of the Father Himself was given to many Saints and mystics. We beg You to show us, Your faithful flock, such a glimpse to help us on our journey through this valley of tears.
Our Mother of Love and Compassion – Pray for us!
St. Patrick – Pray for us!
St. Maria Faustina – Pray for us!
