Our prayer should be humble, loving and faithful

aeternus | Carmelite, Prayer | Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008

“Let us abandon ourselves to God:  if we are bling His light will guide us; if we are weak, His strength will uphold us; if we are inconstant, His firmness will preserve us.  Let us rest entirely in His infinite mercy which never fails one who hopes and trusts in Him.”

- Blessed Mary Josephine of Jesus Crucified, OCD

(Blessed Mary Josephine was afflicted with tuberculosis of the spine, which completely paralysed her. She owes her miraculous cure to the intercession of St Francis Xavier, whose relic was brought to her cell and who appeared to her in a dream.

Although she would have been glad to live in solitude, when the news of her miraculous recovery became known outside the Community, priests, seminarians and persons of every social class came to Ponti Rossi to receive counsel and consolation from her)

  1. I never read or heard about this before, Aeternus – how wonderful to have been cured in such a way. I have a special liking for St francis Xavier which I inherited from my father and his feastday is always a special day for me.

  3. St. Francis is the patron saint of Goa, I had prayed for him to bless me with a nice boy when It was time for me to get married, within a week’s time, I received a proposal from a good boy and we married and lived a happy life for 23 years . My husband passed away.
