Carissimi; Today’s Mass: Fourth Thursday in Lent
The Mass dates only from the time of Pope Gregory II; the sung parts are from other feasts. Both the Epistle and the Gospel recount a miracle of raising the dead to life; Elisha, who is a figure of Christ, raises the son of the Sunamite woman; Jesus raises the son of the widow of Naim and gives him back to his mother. St. Martin of Tours was celebrated as the resuscitator of three dead persons. The story of Elisha is an example of the discretion needed by superiors in dealing with those under their care.

Morning Meditations for the Fourth Thursday in Lent ~ St Alphonsus Liguori
The devil brings sinners to hell by closing their eyes to the dangers of damnation. He first blinds them, and then leads them into eternal torments. If, then, we wish to be saved, we must continually pray to God in the words of the blind man in the Gospel: Lord, that I may see! Domine, ut videam! Give me light, O Lord, and make me see the way in which I must walk, in order to escape the illusions of the enemy of my salvation.

Morning Meditations for the Fourth Wednesday in Lent ~ St Alphonsus Liguori
His heart shall be as hard as a stone and as firm as a smith’s anvil. God does not indeed harden the habitual sinner, but He withdraws His grace in punishment of his ingratitude for past favours; and thus his heart becomes as hard as a stone. And St. Thomas of Villanova says: “Hardness of heart is a sign of damnation.”

Morning Meditations for the Fourth Tuesday in Lent ~ St Alphonsus Liguori
It is a terrible subject for our consideration that God does nothing but threaten sinners with a bad death. I also will laugh in your destruction, and will mock. It is true that in whatever hour the sinner is converted, God has promised to pardon him, but God has not said that in death the sinner shall be converted. On the contrary, He has often declared that the sinner shall die in his sins. You shall die in your sins.
