Canonization of MOTHER marie eugenie

a thought from mother marie eugenie

“Each one of us is the object of a choice and of the call of Love.” (Instruction, May 20, 1885)

a thought, A Prayer for You

That we have all been called – and even more, called by Love itself – is something to hold on to in those moments when we feel least lovable. Somehow, though, that we have been chosen by Love feels even more remarkable. Then the question becomes: chosen for what purpose? And the answer seems to lie in the identity of the One who continues to choose us each day: we are chosen for love, to give as well as to receive this most wonderful gift.

Lord of Love, let my heart listen well to your call. Show me how to respond completely to your amazing but wonderful choice of me for you. Amen.
