DAY 26

Fourth Sunday of Lent

HAPPINESS COMES FROM SAYING “YES” TO GOD

Only Jesus knows what is in your hearts and your deepest desires. Only He, who has loved you to the end (see John 13,1), can fulfill your aspirations. His are words of eternal life, words that give meaning to life. No one apart from Christ can give you true happiness. By following the example of Mary, you should know how to give Him your unconditional “yes.” There is no place in your lives for selfishness or laziness. Now more than ever it is crucial that you be “watchers of the dawn,” the lookouts who announce the light of dawn and the new springtime of the Gospel of which the buds can already be seen. Humanity is in urgent need of the witness of free and courageous people who dare to go against the tide and proclaim with vigor and enthusiasm their personal faith in God, Lord and Savior.

You are also aware, my dear friends, that this mission is not easy. It becomes absolutely impossible if one counts only on oneself. But “what is impossible with men is possible for God” (Luke 18:27; 1:37).
