The
pansies – Violet
A small plant embellishes our gardens. From the
leaves comes out one or more threads guided by its small buds; when these buds
burst open we have before our eyes small flowers but very fine and singular in
their forms and colour. It is odourless, but not all the perfections are found
in a flower: put together with the rose, the buttercup and their other companions,
they will form a beautiful composition.
Prayer
To
elevate our thoughts to God is prayer. Our soul is to contemplate, to see and to
gaze at God. What is created, visible and material is placed before our eyes in
order to elevate our thoughts to God, the Creator, to God the invisible, to God
the immaterial. Without prayer, persons become debased, degraded, materialized
and become worse than a stupid person or a donkey.
Floral offering to Mary
Mother
Mary, my thoughts are recollected and in your hands, I present them to God. I commit
myself to live henceforth recollected in God, to walk in his presence, not to
forget Him, and to contemplate His greatness…I promise to pray continuously as
the Gospel asks to me offer my vows to your Son: take care, oh beautiful and
loving gardener, take care of my thoughts,
them to your fidelity.
them to your fidelity.
Recite five Hail Mary
Invitation: In twenty-four hours,
can we have an hour to dedicate this time to reflect and to look at God, as a
God who looks at us, a God who does not forget us, a God who thinks of us in
all eternity?
