"Faith is the strength by which a shattered world
shall emerge into the light." - Helen Keller
"If we love Jesus, we shall always receive
from Him the light and counsel which we need -
His enlightenment is clear and
His counsel satisfies fully the needs of our hearts.
How can we have this light and this counsel?
Jesus speaks to our souls in many ways.
He speaks to us when we read the pages of the Gospel;
when we recollect ourselves in His presence during meditation;
when we visit Him in the Tabernacle and speak to Him
really and truly present under the Eucharistic species and,
when we ask Him, in all our difficulties, for holy inspiration
which will guide us and direct us towards what is good.
God will never deny His light and counsel to a
humble supplicant. Nobody can speak to our souls
with greater efficacy than Jesus Christ.
'Listen to the interior Master,' wrote St Margaret Mary Alacoque.
'Never do anything without seeking His advice.'"
Antonio Cardinal Baccio
