Quote:
Mother Teresa
"O heart of Mary, heart of the tenderest of mothers, cause of our joy, we consecrate ourselves unreservedly to you, our hearts, our bodies, our souls. We desire to belong to you in life and in death."
Fr. Angelo Scolozzi, M.C.III.O, ed. Thirsting For God. ( Servant Publications), 125.
Meditation:
Blessed Teresa of Calcutta:
"The feast of the Immaculate heart of Mary [June 20, 2009], cause of our joy, is drawing near. Our preparation for the great day should be that of deep, humble gratitude to God. Let us ask two special graces from Our Lady:
The grace of perseverance in our beautiful vocation, and delicate love for God's poor. The greatness of Our Lady was in her humility. No wonder Jesus wanted to live so close to her. We learn from him and from her one lesson: To be meek and humble of heart."
Thirsting For God, 120.
Resolution:
Today I will say one time: Jesus meek and humble of heart, make my heart like unto Thine. I will remember that the meek and humble Sacred Heart of Jesus enjoyed the company of the humble Blessed Virgin Mary. I will pray to be like the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Mother Teresa
"When you first come to know Jesus, you learn how to pray. When you pray, stand straight. When you pray, your vocation is strong. When you pray, you begin to love, When your prayer diminishes, your vocation is in great danger."
Thirsting For God, (Servant Pulbications)120.
I give this resolution to the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Thanks be to God for graces received.
