May 13, 2020 Wednesday of the 5th week OF EASTER–A OUR LADY OF FATIMA

Acts of the Apostles: 15:1-6

Psalm 122

John 15:1-8

“Whoever remains in me and I in him will bear much fruit, because without me you can do nothing.”  John 15:5

Lord, your word teaches me that the most important thing I can do today is to remain in you. That means I will trust you with all my concerns and worries. That means I will turn to you often throughout this day to tell you “thank you.” That means I will ask for your advice when I must make an important decision. It also means I will really believe that I can’t do anything without you. If I want to bear fruit for you and to buildup your kingdom in this world I must make room for you in every part of my day, not just the morning offering. I know you remain in me and you watch over me 24/7.  There is so much I need to thank you for. So much you provide for me and show me your love. Lord I thank you for giving me my spiritual mother Mary.  She also loves me and wants to intercede for me every day. How can I go wrong with such a loving and caring mother?

Dear Lady of Fatima: teach me about the love of God just as you taught your son Jesus when he was growing up in Nazareth.  You nourished him and formed him according to the will of God.  Please present my needs and those of my family to your son today.  Amen Alleluia
