All Saints Novena Day 9
This is no longer the time for lone climbers of the
heights, but for people who have the humility to be linked together as a team.
To become such will be possible only by overcoming the
temptation of individualism and the desire to escape the company of others.
Let us remember:
Alone
we are
as reeds
perhaps
agile and elegant
but
fragile in a strong wind.
we must
unite ourselves
and
become a network
rather
a barricade
able to
resist the storms.
Communicated in The Gospel Maximum of Love, Bishop
Giaquinta’s solution to the pain in our society was to form a group of people,
the Pro Sanctity Movement, to communicate the love of Christ to everyone. As I read the above I see that individually
we can only do so much, but together with Christ working in us and through us,
we truly can change the world.
Dear Jesus, Thank you for the
gifts of the saints as examples and companions.
Help us to know they are with us, and leading us on, Give us the compassion and thirst for the
souls of our brothers and sisters that you yourself have and went to Calvary for.
Remind us that we can give no less than the maximum as we follow your
example
