REFLECTION – “It was God’s will that I should leave everything that was near and dear to me.   I thank Him for having called me to religious life where I have found such peace and joy as I could never have found in the world.   My plan of life is chiefly this: to love and suffer, always meditating upon, adoring and admiring God’s unspeakable love for His lowliest creatures.” – St Conrad of Parzham (1818-1894) (from a letter of Saint Conrad)my plan of life is chiefly this - st conrad of parzham - 21 april 2018

PRAYER – Lord God, our Father, in You is our hope and our life.   You have made us and be belong to You.   Give us Your grace and Your help to constantly render to You, our love and gratitude and to suffer for that great love, by which You sent your only Son to save us.   St Conrad, pray for us that we may grow in holiness and soon meet you in heaven, amen.
