Fifth reflection of the third week of Lent
To make the most of the third week of Lent, Shalom Publishing is giving you five days in the company of Blessed Carlo Acutis – Day Five.
“That bloody sacrifice of the cross is renewed at every Eucharistic celebration! Carlo’s desire to receive Communion as soon as possible, at just 7 years old, and from that day onward never to miss Holy Mass prepared him to let himself be ‘divinized,’ until his last moment of life. Carlo, like Jesus, died happy because he did not waste a single moment of his life: ‘I am dying happy because I have never wasted a minute of my life on things that do not please God.’”
Jesus, in the Eucharist, continues to give himself for me. Do I ever reflect on this and on the happiness that comes from living united with Jesus?
I’ll be waiting for you tomorrow morning to continue reflecting together!
