THURSDAY IN PASSION WEEK
St Francis de Sales (1567-1622)
Doctor Caritas
“MY SOUL, live henceforward amid the scourges and the thorns of thy Saviour and there, as a nightingale in its bush, sing sweetly:
Live Jesus, Who didst die that my soul might live!
Ah, Eternal Father!
What can the world return Thee for the gift Thou hast made it of Thy only Son?
Alas! to redeem a thing so vile as I, the Saviour delivered Himself to death and, unhappy me! I hesitate to surrender my nothingness to Him, Who has given me everything!” – (Consoling Thoughts of St Francis de Sales).
