Scripture, Reflection and Prayer for Tuesday, May 18, 2010

You are the glory of Jerusalem, the surpassing pride of Israel, the great honor of our people.
- Judith 15:9

Reflection: Those who want to prevent their heart from being pervaded by the evils of earth should entrust it to the Blessed Virgin, our Lady and our Mother. They will then regain it in heaven, freed from all evils.
- St. Francis de Sales

Prayer: Lord Jesus, move me to entrust my heart and my affections to Your holy Mother. Grant that her prayers may keep me from all evil and firmly attached to You forever.
