Saturday 31st. MarchEvery time I see a picture of the crucifixion or a cross, I feel strangely affected and drawn to the life of immolation in a strange way.
The heroism of Jesus appeals to me; His ‘naked crucifixion’ calls to me and it gives me great consolation and peace to offer myself to Him on the cross for this perpetual living crucifixion.
How often does He not seem to say to me in prayer, ‘I would have you strip yourself of all things - every particle of self-indulgence, and this ever and always?
Give Me all and I will make you a great saint.’
Reflection
O Jesus, I am so weak, help me to give You all and to do it now.
