powerful

Two powerful Lenten reflections for today:

Every priest who preaches the Word of God in times of persecution has no escape; he will die like Jesus on the Cross, with arms tied.
– Bl. Elias Nieves

May I give you some advice for you to put into practice daily? When your heart makes you feel those low cravings, say slowly to the Immaculate Virgin: "Look on me with compassion. Don't abandon me, my Mother." And recommend this prayer to others.
– St. Josemaria Escriva, Furrow, #849
