“Zacchaeus(…) was seeking to see who Jesus was” (Luke, 19,3)

What kind of a relationship do I entertain with Jesus? He came to save humankind! Do I seek to get to know Him? Contemplating Jesus will unveil the goodness, mercy, love and meekness of God. On that day, He was encountering Zacchaeus; Jesus also yearns to become acquainted with me personally. To such a God one can only but willingly come back.

Today let us pray for the souls of mothers and fathers.

Prayer to Our Lady of Montligeon

Our Lady of Deliverance, Have compassion on all our departed, Specially those who are in most need of the Lord's mercy. Intercede for all those who have gone before us So that God's purifying love may be fulfilled in them. May our petition, in union with the prayer of the Church, Secure for them the joy that surpasses all understanding, And bring consolation as well as comfort to our afflicted brothers and sisters. Mother of the Church, assist us during our pilgrimage on earth, to better ourselves on our daily journey towards the Resurrection. Heal the wounds of our hearts and souls. Make of us witnesses to the Invisible One, Already striving toward the good that eye has not seen. Grant us the grace to become apostles of hope for our brothers and sisters here on earth, Akin to sentinels awaiting dawn. Refuge of sinners and Queen of all Saints, Gather us all together one day, for the Eternal Easter, In communion with God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen.
