Spiritual Reading for Sunday IV of Easter ~ St Alphonsus Liguori
Our Blessed Lady told St. Bridget that she was the Mother not only of the just and innocent, but also of sinners, provided they were willing to repent. Oh, how prompt does a sinner who is desirous of amendment and flies to her feet find this good Mother to embrace and help him, far more so than any earthly mother! St. Gregory VII wrote in this sense to princess Matilda, saying: “Resolve to sin no more and I promise that undoubtedly thou wilt find Mary more ready to love thee than any earthly mother.”
Morning Meditations for Sunday IV of Easter ~ St Alphonsus Liguori
There is nothing shorter than time, and yet nothing more valuable. There is nothing shorter, for the past is no more, the future is uncertain, the present only a moment. Jesus Christ said: A little time and now you shall not see me. We may say the same of our life which, according to St. James is a vapour which appeareth for a little while-(iv. 15).
Evening Meditations for Friday – Third Week After Easter ~ St Alphonsus Liguori
David placed all his hope of salvation in his future Redeemer, and said: Into thy hands, 0 Lord, I commend my spirit; Thou hast redeemed me, 0 Lord, the God of truth-(Ps. xxx. 6). But how much more ought we to place our confidence in Jesus Christ, now that He has come and has accomplished the work of Redemption! Hence each one of us should say, and repeat again and again with greater confidence: Into thy hands, 0 Lord, I commend my spirit; thou hast redeemed me, 0 Lord, the God of truth.

Spiritual Reading for Friday – Third Week After Easter ~ St Alphonsus Liguori
In the Second Book of Kings-(2 Kings xiv. 5), we read that a wise woman of Thecua addressed King
David this wise : My lord, I had two sons, and for my misfortune one killed the other; so
that I have now lost one and justice demands the other, the only one that is left; take compassion
on a poor mother, and let me not thus be deprived of both.

He who causeth a sinner to be converted from the error of his way shall save his soul from death
and shall cover a multitude of sins-(James v. 20). Would it not be cruelty in him who would see a
blind man walking over a precipice and not admonish him of his danger and thus rescue him from
temporal death ? But it would be still greater cruelty to neglect, when able, to deliver a neigh
bour from eternal death.
