SEPTEMBER 23, 2018 I THE TWENTY-FIFTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME Jesus told me that I please Him best by meditating on His sorrowful Passion, and by such meditation much light falls upon my soul. He who wants to learn true humility should reflect upon the Passion of Jesus. When I meditate upon the Passion of Jesus, I get a clear understanding of many things I could not comprehend before. I want to resemble You, O Jesus, You crucified, tortured, and humiliated. Jesus, imprint upon my heart and soul Your own humility. 9:00 & 11:00 Babysitting is available in the Cathedral Center Grace Suite for children ages 6 months 3 years. I love You, Jesus, to the point of madness, You who were crushed with suffering as described by the prophet [cf. Isaiah 53:2-9], as if he could not see the human form in You because of Your great suffering. It is in this condition, Jesus, that I love You to the point of madness, O eternal and infinite God, what has love done to You? VOLUME 72 NUMBER 38 2
