One Minute Reflection – 6 April – Easter Friday & The Memorial of Bl Maria Karlowska (1865-1935)

“A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another.”…John 13:34

REFLECTION – “[She] worked as a true Samaritan among women, suffering great material and moral deprivation.   Her devotion to the Saviour’s Sacred Heart bore fruit, in a great love for people.   Thanks to this love she restored to many souls the light of Christ and helped them to retain their lost dignity.” … St Pope John Paul II at the Beatification on 6 June 1997

PRAYER – Dear Jesus, take away our hearts of stone and replace them with Your loving heart.   Help us to radiate You to all we meet. Blessed Maria Karlowska, your heart was the heart of Christ, please pray for us, amen.

REFLECTION – “Christ is our life.   Let us therefore look to Christ.   He came to suffer in order to merit glory;  to seek contempt in order to be exalted.   He came to die but also to rise again.”……………..St Augustine

PRAYER – Heavenly Father, through my baptism I was buried with Christ and rose to a new life of grace.   Let me so guard that life that I will enjoy it full in heaven with Christ.   Blessed Notker Balbulus, you guarded your life that you lived only for Christ please pray for us all, amen.
