Draw us upwards!

 "We are on pilgrimage with the Lord to the heights. We are striving

for pure hearts and clean hands, we are seeking truth,

we are seeking the face of God.  Let us show the Lord that we desire

to be righteous, and let us ask Him: Draw us upwards! Make us pure!

Grant that the words which we sang in the processional psalm may

also hold true for us; grant that we may be part of the generation which

seeks God, “which seeks your face, O God of Jacob” (cf. Ps 24:6). Amen."

 

(Ending of Pope Benedict XVI's Palm Sunday Homily 2011)

 

 

 

 

“With all my heart I desire You,

O Bread of Angels!

Do not look on my unworthiness

which separates me from You,

but look on Your love

which so often has invited me

to approach You.” 

 

 

St. Louise de Marillac
