Excerpt
Yea, Lord, thus would I repeat Thy words, before losing myself in Thy loving embrace. Perhaps it is daring, but, for a long time, hast Thou not allowed me to be daring with Thee? Thou hast said to me, as the Prodigal's father to his elder son: "All I have is thine." And therefore I may use Thy very own words to draw down favours from Our Heavenly Father on all who are dear to me.

✨ To meditate on today
According to Saint Thérèse of Lisieux, Jesus says to her, as the father in the parable of the prodigal son says to his elder son: “All I have is thine”; so she dares to use His own words to pray for those she loves. Today, confidently choose a Gospel word you love and pray it for one particular person, asking for all the good you wish them.
