Friends of the Rosary,
Today, on the Feast of St. John XXII, we reflect on the words of Pope Leo XIV, addressing consecrated persons in the Vatican this week, and reminding them that “living one’s vows means abandoning oneself like children in the Father’s arms.”
The Holy Father reflected on the phrase from the Gospel of St. Luke: “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and it will be opened to you” (Lk 11:9).
With these words, he explained, “Jesus invites us to turn with confidence to the Father in all our needs.”
“To ask is to recognize, in poverty, that everything is a gift from the Lord and to give thanks for everything; to seek is to open oneself, in obedience, to discover each day the path we must follow to attain holiness, according to God’s designs.”
In this context, he affirmed that God is the fullness and meaning of our lives: “The Lord is everything. He is everything in different ways, whether as creator and source of existence, as love that calls and challenges, as a force that impels and encourages self-giving.”
“Without him, nothing exists, nothing has meaning, nothing is worthwhile, and your ‘asking,’ ‘seeking,’ and ‘knocking,’ both in prayer and in life, refer to this truth,” he noted.
“To be truly happy, man does not need these things, but rather consistent, lasting, and solid experiences of love,” he affirmed.
Ave Maria!
Come, Holy Spirit, come!
To Jesus through Mary!
Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.
Please give us the grace to respond with joy!
