Thought for the Day – 21 November – Meditations with Antonio Cardinal Bacci (1881-1971)
Have We Ever Abandoned Jesus?
“We must remain faithful at all times, even when fidelity requires some great sacrifice!
Did not Jesus sacrifice Himself completely for our sakes?
Is it not just, that we should continue to be generous to our Saviour until death?
If we go away from Jesus, Who is the Way, the Truth and the Life, our minds will be in darkness and our hearts and souls, will grow lifeless.
Perhaps we have sometimes wandered away from Jesus and have experienced this darkness, death and remorse.
Only when we are with Jesus, is there any purpose and goal in our lives.
Only with Him, can we hope to have the strength to reach that goal.
Only He can dry our tears and assuage our suffering.
Only when we are with Jesus, have the little joys of this life any meaning, for they are a foretaste of the everlasting happiness of Heaven!”
