Monday of Holy Week
Dear Family of Mary!
Today, Monday of Holy Week, our Responsorial Psalm is taken from Psalm 27. It is a psalm of total confidence and trust in the Lord. We can hear Jesus saying these words to himself as He endured His Passion. We quietly compassionate with Him. He shows us the way to trust the Father completely:
Psalm 27 – 1-3, 13-14
The Lord is my light and my salvation;
whom should I fear?
The Lord is my life’s refuge;
of whom should I be afraid?
When evildoers come at me
to devour my flesh,
My foes and my enemies
themselves stumble and fall.
Though an army encamp against me,
my heart will not fear;
Though war be waged upon me,
even then will I trust.
I believe that I shall see the bounty of the Lord
in the land of the living.
Wait for the Lord with courage;
be stouthearted, and wait for the Lord.
Our Lady also shows us this kind of total trust in the Father. She encourages us to live our lives in that trust:

“Dear children;
Today I call you to a humble, my children, humble devotion.
Your hearts need to be just.
May your crosses be your means
in the battle against the sins of the present time.
May your weapon be patience and boundless love,
a love that knows to wait
and which will make you capable
of recognizing God’s signs,
that your life, by humble love,
may show the truth to all those
who seek it in the darkness of lies…
My children, my apostles,
help me to open the paths to my Son.
Once again I call you to pray for your shepherds.
Alongside them, I will triumph. Thank you.”
May our weapon be patience and boundless love, a love that knows to wait and which will make us capable of recognizing God’s signs…May we wait for the Lord with courage! May we be stouthearted and wait for the Lord!
In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
