Sign of Spring

Yikes! Biggest worm I've EVER seen! Ray really thought I was going to let him bring it in and keep it in his room. It was great to be outside in the sun and a little bit of warmth today. It will probably snow tomorrow!

Seeing Christ in the Mirror

"Gaze upon that mirror each day... and continually study your face within it, that you may adorn yourself within and without with beautiful robes, covered... with the flowers and garments of all the virtues. Indeed, blessed poverty, holy humility, and inexpressible charity are reflected in that mirror, as, with the grace of God, you can contemplate them throughout the entire mirror" (Saint Clare - Letter 4 to Agnes, 15-18). The mirror of which she spoke was the face of Christ. But if we cannot discern that face in our own how can we hope to discern it in others?

Loving God, our Creator and Redeemer, you have called us into your own wonderful light. You have granted us the grace to gaze daily on your glory with faces unveiled. May we continue each day, with our faces unveiled, reflect like mirrors Your undying brightness, and come to grow brighter and brighter as we are turned into the image that we reflect. Let us be the light shining in the darkness radiating to the whole world the light of the knowledge of God's glory.

From a talk given by Fr. Aidan McGrath OFM.
