Many and varied are the ways in which our saintly forefathers laid down how everyone, whatever his station or the kind of religious observance he has chosen, should live a life in allegiance to Jesus Christ - how, pure in heart and stout in conscience, he must be unswerving in the service of the Master. Carmelite Rule [2]

Let's pray

Merciful Father, look up on 

us, this family,

and help us to overcome our own ego, selfishness

and fix our eyes toward You only

and desire You only. Amen.
