Morning Meditation for Thursday after Ascension ~ St Alphonsus Liguori

Love is strong as death-{Cant. viii. 6). As there is no created power that can resist death, so with the soul that loves God there is no difficulty that love cannot overcome. O my Jesus, send Thy Holy Spirit that He may come and strengthen me to do and suffer something for Thy love before death overtakes me.

Evening Meditations for Tuesday after Ascension ~ St Alphonsus Liguori

The second means of perfection is the resolution to belong wholly to God. Many are called to perfection; they are urged on towards it by grace, they conceive a desire of it; but because they never really resolve. to acquire it, they live and die in the ill-odour of their tepid and imperfect life.

Morning Meditation for Tuesday after Ascension ~ St Alphonsus Liguori

Divine Love fertilizes the good desires, the holy purposes, and the good works of our souls, and these are the flowers and fruits which the grace of the Holy Ghost produces. O holy and Divine Spirit, I will no longer live to myself. I will spend all these days that remain to me of life in loving and pleasing Thee.
