Der Hayr's Weekly Message

What avail is it to man to reason about God, the secret mysteries of the Holy Trinity, if he lacks humility and so displeases the Trinity?
Truly it avails nothing for deeply inquisitive reasoning does not make a man Holy or righteous, but a good life makes him beloved by God… for all that is in the world is vanity, except to love God and serve Him only. ( Thomas a Kempis)

Alas, a miracle, a marvelous thing worthy of all belief and far above the understanding of man, that You Lord, who are true God and true man, are wholly contained under a little appearance of bread and wine, who are consumed without being consumed by those who receive You, and You are the Lord of all things and depend on nothing in this world would dwell in us by this glorious Sacrament.
As often as you remember this miraculous mystery and receive the Body of Christ, so often you work the work of your redemption and are made partaker of all the merits of Christ.
( Thomas a Kempis)

Dear Jesus, I cannot help but wonder how many of us, though we see with our eyes are blind in our faith.   I pray O dear Lord for the Your miracle of sight, and yes, I believe You are able to do this’ for me and for others who earnestly desire to know You as Lord.  Help us to use our eyes to see the unending presence of Your Love each and everyday of our earthly journey.  Lead and help us Lord.   Guide us O Lord in our struggle to open our eyes to the Spirit.

Please remember those who are confined and recovering.
