Scripture, Reflection and Prayer for Thursday, August 19, 2010

You are my children, for whom I am enduring a mother's pain again, until Christ is formed in you.
- Galatians 4:19

Reflection: There is only one reason for us to be living on earth. We are to bear, manifest, sanctify, glorify, and cause to live an reign in us the name, life, qualities and perfections, dispositions, and inclinations, and virtues and actions of Jesus.
- St. John Eudes

Prayer: Heavenly Father, impress upon my mind and heart that I must be conformed to Your Son in all things. Let me imitate Him so completely that I may truly be "another Christ."
