Scripture, Reflection and Prayer for Friday, September 18, 2009

How slow [you are] to believe all that the Prophets have spoken! Was it not necessary that the Messiah should suffer these things and enter into His glory?
- Lk 24:25-26

Reflection: Christ's love and obedience had abased him to the death of the Cross. Therefore, Christ was raised by God to the glory of the Resurrection.
- St. Thomas Aquinas

Prayer: Lord or glory,stamp indelibly on my mind that without the Cross there is no crown. Help me to fashion an eternal crown of glory out of the little crosses that come my way each day.
