“Amen amen I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains just a grain of wheat; but if it dies it produces much fruit. Whoever loves his life loses it, and whoever hates his life in this world will preserve it for eternal life. Whoever serves me must follow me, and where I am there also will my servant be. The Father will honor whoever serves me.” John 12:25-26. Pope St. John Paul II said, “From Mary we learn to surrender to God’s will in all things. From Mary we learn to trust when all hope is gone. From Mary we learn to trust her Son and Christ the Son of God.”
Let us pray, Lord God, we struggle to die to ourselves every day, to say yes to You and lay aside our wants, our self-serving habits. We are in need of Your grace Lord, help us in this surrender of our wills, to love as You deserve to be loved, and to serve others from our hearts. Amen.” Let your light shine!!” Be blessed. Larry.
