Ave Maria Meditations
Questions to ask ourselves:
“It is useful from time to time to pause and ask ourselves if we are, like the child Jesus, are growing in wisdom and grace. Does each evening see us farther on the path of perfection, holier in the eyes of a heavenly court, more pleasing and dearer to God? When we lie down to rest, is it with the feeling that the day just passed has been one of progress in the spiritual life, of merit and victory over self?
Have we crushed the promptings of self-will and trampled on our pride? Have we spent ourselves for God and wearied ourselves in works for Him? Have we been a help to the weak, the comfort of the needy, a light to the wandering one? If so, thank God for His goodness and resolve on nobler things.”
The servant of God, Fr. Willie Doyle S. J.
