May 5, 2011 Thursday: Second Week of Easter (A)

For the one whom God sent speaks the words of God. He does not ration his gift of the Spirit. (John 3:34-35)

Joy

I want to be a saint according to His Heart, meek and humble--therefore at these two virtues of Jesus I will try my best. My second resolution is to become an apostle of joy--to console the Sacred Heart of Jesus through joy. Please ask Our Lady to give me Her heart so that I may with greater ease fulfill His desire in me. I want to smile even at Jesus and so hide if possible the pain and the darkness of my soul even from Him.

-Mother Teresa from Where There Is Love, There Is God
