We live in an age dominated by fear and anxiety, and it is destroying us. Granted, we can’t wholly avoid the troubles around us as long as we live in this vale of tears. But we can’t let them consume our lives.
Now more than ever, we need the strength and peace that comes from the Holy Eucharist. If more people would take the time to make a Holy Hour at least once a week, many things would change for the better!
Sometimes it can be hard to still our souls in Jesus’ presence. To help, here are seven passages to reflect on during your Holy Hour. Share them with family and friends!
Psalm 46:10
“Be still and know that I am God.”
St. Padre Pio
“Often place your confidence in Divine Providence and be assured that sooner heaven and earth shall pass away than that the Lord neglects to protect you.…My past, O Lord, to your Mercy; my present, to your Love; my future, to your Providence!”
St. Francis de Sales
“Do not look forward to what may happen tomorrow; the same everlasting Father who cares for you today will take care of you tomorrow and every day. Either He will shield you from suffering or He will give you unfailing strength to bear it. Be at peace, then put aside all anxious thoughts and imaginations.…”
