From Morning Prayer:

 

Saint Rita of Cascia, Widow, Religious, Patroness of "impossible" cases

 

 

Since our weak minds cannot comprehend the Father or the Son, we have been given the Holy Spirit as our intermediary and advocate, to shed light on that hard doctrine of our faith, the incarnation of God.

 

We receive the Spirit of Truth so that we can know the things of God.

 

In order to grasp this, consider how useless the faculties of the human body would become if they were denied their exercise. Our eyes can't fulfill their task without light, either natural or artificial; our ears can't react without sound vibrations, and in their absence of any odor, our nostrils are ignorant of their function. Not that these senses would lose their own nature if they were not used; rather, they demand objects of experience in order to function.

 

It is the same with the human soul. Unless it absorbs the gift of the Spirit through faith, the mind has the ability to know God but lacks the light necessary for that knowledge.

 

(From the treatise On the Trinity by Saint Hilary, bishop)

 

I pray this text finds you experiencing God's boundless love for you.

 

I pray that we may all have had a day of 'exercising' our souls.

 

Please pray for those listed in all the parts of the litany from last Monday (Part 1), (Part 2), (Part 3), (Part 4), (Part 5), (Part 6), (Part 7), (Part 8), (Part 9), (Part 10), (Part 11).

 

Simplicity, Humility, and Praise ♱🙏✌️
