"Without
doubt, the Lord grants all the favors
which are
asked of Him in Mass,
provided
they be those fitting for us..." St Jerome
"Take my
advice,
and in
every Mass ask God to make you a great saint.
Does this seem too much? It is
not too much.
Is it not our good Master Who
protests in the holy Gospel that,
for a cup of cool water given out of
love of Him,
He will, in return, give
paradise?
How, then, while offering to God
the blood of His most blessed Son,
should He not give you a hundred
heavens,
were there so many?...
O blessed
Mass!
Expand yet
more and more your heart,
and ask
great things of Him,
with the reflection that you ask of
a God
Who does not grow poor by giving,
and, therefore,
the more you petition for, the more
you will obtain."
St Leonard of Port
Maurice
