Friday of the Fourth Week of Lent:

"O God, who have prepared fitting helps for us in our weakness, grant, we pray, that we may receive their healing effects with joy and reflect them in a holy way of life. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever."

"It’s dark because you are trying too hard. Lightly child, lightly. Learn to do everything lightly. Yes, feel lightly even though you’re feeling deeply. Just lightly let things happen and lightly cope with them. So throw away your baggage and go forward. There are quicksands all about you, sucking at your feet, trying to suck you down into fear and self-pity and despair. That’s why you must walk so lightly. Lightly my darling…"

Lord Jesus Christ, in the silence of our hearts, we offer you our suffering, uniting it to yours on the cross. Help us to see redemption in every pain and to find in every trial the opportunity to share in your redemptive sacrifice. Grant us the grace to understand the profound mystery of the cross and the strength to embrace it, knowing that by your precious blood shed for us, we walk towards resurrection in you. Amen.

"Believe me, the writing of pious books, the composing of the sublimest poetry; al that does not equal the smallest act of self-denial."
