THURSDAY IN THE OCTAVE OF EASTER: LET THE WORD PENETRATE OUR WALLS

He said to them,
“These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you
that everything written about me in the law of Moses
and in the prophets and psalms must be fulfilled.”
Luke 24:44

 EUGENE

“Handed on to his Apostles by Jesus, this word has lost none of its power in the course of the ages. We have experienced the fact that because it issued from the mouth of him who is himself eternal life, it is always spirit and life.”

Eugene de Mazenod, Pastoral Letter 1844

 THE WALLS OF OUR UPPER ROOM
