My life, O Lord, does not allow me to
participate at Mass every day. When I do,
grant me a sincere appreciation of Your great gift.
IT is our business to repent of our own sins
and to try to escape from the disadvantages under
which we find ourselves. Especially should we
turn our thoughts to the consideration of the
Mass and Holy Communion which since ancient times
has been celebrated daily.
Is it not astonishing that we are so inconsistent
and variable-when we will not seek of Him such
daily sustenances of grace as He offers to us
and when we do not pray to Him daily or seek His
house daily?
