4. “A monsignor sobbed, then silence fell: an eyewitness account of Pope Benedict XVI’s resignation”

6. From G. B. Chautard in The Soul of the Apostolate/a>:

What love for you, O holy Church of God, does this thought enkindle in my heart, “I am one of your members: I am a members of Christ!” What love it gives me for all Christians, since they are my brothers and we form one in Christ!

Nothing that has to do with you can leave me indifferent. Sad, when I see you persecuted. I rejoice at the story of your conquests and your triumphs.

O holy Church of God, I wish, as far as it depends on me, that you may be more beautiful, more holy, and more numerous, since the splendor of your whole body results from the perfection of each of your children, based on that close fellowship which was the main thought of the prayer of the Lord after the Last Supper and the true testament of his heart, “That they may be one … that they may be made perfect in one.

7. Pope Francis talks reform and Christian witness.

8. Isaac of Stella, a Cistercian monk, on today’s Gospel: “full of compassion, he accomplished what is fitting to pity: it was he who came to the sinner.”

9. I’ve been on both ends of this tweet:

Oh. That explains a few things! “@UnvirtuousAbbey: Be kind, for everyone you meet isn't as caffeinated as you are.” ☕️☕️☕️

10. Bishop James Conley in Lincoln writes:

Knowing real love, the love that comes from being sons and daughters of God the Father, is the antidote to the insecurities, fears, and loneliness that drive people to accept the worldview of “Fifty Shades of Grey.” We should work to bring those who accept a distorted vision of love to an encounter with Jesus Christ, the source of all real and lasting love.

11.

12. St. Augustine from the Liturgy of the Hours today:

Christ is formed in the believer by faith of the inner man, called to the freedom that grace bestows, meek and gentle, not boasting of nonexistent merits, but through grace making some beginning of merit. Hence he can be called “my least one” by him who said: In asmuch as you did it to the least of my brethren you did it to me.

Christ is formed in him who receives Christ’s mold, who clings to him in spiritual love. By imitating him he becomes, as far as is possible to his condition, what Christ is. John says: He who remains in Christ should walk as he did.
