APRIL 8

Salvation through Jesus
PRAYER.

Blessed Mother of God and my Mother, pray for me that I may be worthy of the promises of your divine Son.

THOSE whom Christ saves are they who attempt to save themselves, yet despair of saving themselves; who aim to do all and confess they do nought; who are all love and all fear.

Those whom Christ enlightens understand that it is possible to work out their salvation, yet to have it wrought out for them, to tremble at the thought of judgment, yet to rejoice always in the Lord and hope and pray for His coming.
