How to Be a Virtuous Guest: WWJD?

By Colleen Hammond, in Meditations | Leave a response Leave a response

Meditation for the Morning

Let us adore Jesus Christ in the visits which He made during His life. He made very few, and He made them in a very holy manner, that He might merit for us the grace of sanctifying ours and of avoiding the dangers to be met with in them. What advantage for us to find in the actions of a God a pattern for our actions and also a grace to enable us to perform them aright! May our hearts be poured forth in praise and thanks at the feet of our divine Savior.

Do Our Conversations Lead Others to God?

By Colleen Hammond, in Meditations | Leave a response Leave a response

Meditation for the Morning

Let us adore Our Lord in His conversation. He converses by preference with the poor, the little, and the simple, and above all with those recommended to Him by His Father (John 17:24), and He holds with them pious conversations calculated to lead them to God; it is thus that He teaches us to converse in a manner worthy of the gospel (Philipp. 1:27). Let us thank Him for the beautiful example which He gives us.

How to Make All Our Conversations Virtuous

By Colleen Hammond, in Meditations | Leave a response Leave a response

Meditation for the Morning

Let us adore Our Lord Jesus Christ conversing in the world, and doing men the favor to hold intercourse with them. (Baruch 3:38) Oh, how holy were His conversations, how far removed were they from all the miserable features which are so often to be met with in ours! (Wis. 8:16) Let us contemplate and bless this adorable pattern.
