Salient Thought
for the Day
When we forget our Source, we become isolated fragments without strength and efficiency.
Lines to Memorize
When Thou art near, I feel strong
And my heart sings a happy song.
When I lose Thee, all my strength fails me
And darkness enshrouds my heart.
Lesson
We are confronted by the problems of life and we seek consolation and help from some outside source; but the wise find these in the inner realm. They retire within themselves. This outer material life becomes much more beautiful, it acquires new grandeur, when it is connected with the inner spiritual life. The drudgery we too often feel arises because these two spheres of living are unrelated. We escape from this sense of drudgery by uniting the inner and outer; and we do this through faith.
Prayer
All-loving Spirit, Source of my life,
May my heart rest close to Your Divine Heart.
Fill it with Your pure joy.
Grant unto me unswerving courage
And a trust that cannot be shaken or destroyed.
May I lean wholly upon Your guidance and look to You alone for protection.
