Our Lady of Nasturtiums
Still
deeply shocked by the November 13, 2015 terrorist attacks, many French
people now measure the gravity of the situation—such attacks could
happen again anytime, anywhere...
Our response must first be spiritual. It is our responsibility to live
the mysteries of our faith in a more profound way and to anchor
ourselves in the hope of Salvation. Faced with barbarism, it is our
Christian duty to live more interior and prayerful lives. Do we have an
active prayer life? Do we have regular recourse to the sacraments? Are
we familiar with the Bible and Catholic traditions? Is our family a good
example of Christian joy and missionary zeal?
Confronted with the challenge that awaits us, it is no longer possible
to be just lukewarm. We must entrust ourselves to the Immaculate Heart
of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Since Our Lady has touched the hearts of so
many Muslims, and since we have entered the Jubilee year of Mercy, let
us launch a major campaign of prayer to ask the Mother of God to
intercede for our Muslim brothers and sisters. May they also discover
the face of Divine Mercy—Our Lord Jesus Christ—crucified and risen, the
Alpha and the Omega of the history of mankind.
