โAsk, and it will be given you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened for youโ (Lk 11:9). โTo ask,โ in fact, is to recognize, through poverty, that everything is a gift from the Lord and to give thanks for it. โTo seekโ is to open oneself, through obedience, to discovering each day the path we must take on the journey towards holiness, following Godโs plans. โTo knockโ is to ask for and to offer the gifts we have received to our brothers and sisters with a chaste heart, striving to love everyone with respect and generosity. #JubileeOfConsecratedLife
Dear friends, today I turn seventy years old. I give thanks to the Lord and to my parents; and I thank all those who have remembered me in their prayers.
