Scripture, Reflection and Prayer for Thursday, April 22, 2010

Everyone who has left houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands for my name's sake, will receive a hundredfold and will inherit life everlasting.
- Matthew 19:29

Reflection: To other human beings, grace has been given with measure. But to Mary, it has been poured out beyond measure!
- St. Sophronius

Prayer: O Mary, you are full of grace, possessing more than all the Angels and Saints combined. I bow down in awe at the breadth of your holiness, and I ask you to pray to the all-holy God for me.
