Meditation for the Morning
Let us adore Jesus Christ employing for the glory of His Father and the salvation of men all the time which He passed upon earth not a moment given to pleasure, to personal satisfaction (Rom. 15:3). He did everything from the desire to please God His Father. (John 8:29) Let us thank Him for this great example, and render to Him all our homage.

Oh, what an admirable example! How happy the soul that is faithful enough to imitate it!

Meditation for the Morning
Let us adore Our Lord Jesus Christ always keeping engraved, in the middle of His heart, the most holy will of His Father as the only rule of all His actions, whether small or great. Never once did He follow His own will; at every moment His Father’s will was the law of His conduct.(John 8:29) How adorable He is in this life of loving submission to the divine good pleasure! Let us render to Him all our homage with this object in view.
