St. Francis de Sales will help us to make our Lent a time of grace because, he says, there is no holiness ready made, it is necessary that everyone goes step by step.
In the sermon on April 3, 1594, St. Francis de Sales discussed the spiritual struggle and reminds us of the “means that Our Lord has put in our hands.” By using these means, we rely on Our Lord, not on ourselves. The principal means are the prayer and the sacraments.
Do you need strength? “Ask and you will receive. John 16,24.
Prayer
Lord Jesus, I thank you for this moment of prayer. Open my eyes so that I can recognize your grace in my life. Give me enough love to follow your call. Mary, teach me to be a reflection of her love by being her instrument today.
