Run to win. Everyone who competes for a prize abstains in every way...I chastise my body and train it lest after having preached to others, I myself shall become a castaway.- 1 Cor 9:25-27
Reflection: Those who love Mary must silence within themselves the desires of the senses. They must also silence the disordered longings of the passions.
- St. John Eudes
Prayer: O Mary, you well know all the temptations that exist in the world. Help me to curb my evil desires and practice self-discipline, so that I may safeguard my union with your Divine Son.
From: Mary Day by Day (Catholic Book Publishing Corp., New York)
