Dear Brothers and Sisters,
In today’s reading, the author of the Imitation is writing specifically to those in Religious life who are bound by vows of obedience to “Superiors”, but Christians can also hear an application to their own lives, as lay persons, for all of us are under the Authority of Christ.
Christ has been given all authority by our Father (Mt. 28) and He shares this authority with others. To be subject to one another in the Body of Christ is a beautiful witness of charity. When we inordinately love ourselves, we refuse to submit, but when we come to realize how often we have resisted God’s Will, our hearts begin to seek Him more truly and humbly, it seems to me. During this week, we need to ask , seek, and knock on the door of Jesus’ Humble Heart, that He may reveal ourselves to us, through the power of His Holy Spirit. Today’s reading reminds us:

Code:
Mary, our Queen and our Mother, we belong to you, from the Cross. Keep us, guard us as Yours. Hold us all in the "crossing of your arms" as you did St. Juan Diego. Help us to learn as you and all the saints learned to enter into the Humility of God.
Come, Holy Spirit! Overshadow us as you overshadowed Mary that we too may be filled with Your Life and Your Love, that we may give Your Light to this dark world.
