Contemplative insight from Mepkin Abbey, drawn from our daily liturgical readings and homily. Help us to pray, one thought per day.
Live to love to live
The greatest command is love
God, others as self
-Queenship of Mary
Once at a banquet
Mary led Christ's miracle
Now, heav'nly banquet
Realize God's love
The last will be first, first last
God's generous love
- St Bernard of Claivaux, Cistercian
"Measure of loving
is to love without measure
Loving God Himself.
- Blessed Guerric of Igny
Regarding riches,
Sell, give, follow Christ.
Gain eternal life.
18 Aug
So we may have life
Take Him, His Body and Blood
Be nourished and live
All God's children come
To whom the Kingdom belongs
In outpouring love
God calls us to love
To communion as we can
Faithful and stable
Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary
Great Testimony
God's love for humanity
Mary's prototype
-Feast of St Maximillian Kolbe
Solely in the will
Essence of the love of God
Not in just sweet words.
