New Room Society: Week 20, Day 7

January 20, 2018 Leave a Comment

Week 20: Simplicity

This daily post is designed to help you live into our New Room Society covenant of practicing daily prayer together. Below is today’s daily practice.  If you missed the overview on day one, visit Week 20: Simplicity.

Saturday: Simplicity of Heart

Sister Josefa Menendez was a sister in the Society of the Sacred Heart and a mystic. Let her photo (“The mystic who wore an apron”) and her conversation with God be your ground and meditation today…

Sister Josefa Menendez The Way of Divine Love

Jesus said to her:

Leave yourself in My hands, Josefa. I will use you as seems best to Me. What of your littleness and weakness … no matter. … All I ask of you is to love and console Me. I want you to know how dearly My Heart loves you, how great are the riches it contains, and you must be like soft wax that I may mold you to My liking.

Josefa’s response was simple and single-hearted:

Would that the whole world knew the secret of happiness. There is but one thing to do: love and abandon oneself. Jesus Himself will take charge of all the rest.
