Theme 116 : Great Wealth and Power

Purity is great Wealth! Purity is great Power! Mother Mary is most wealthy and powerful because of her purity. Her gentle presence crushed the head of the evil one. The Immaculate Conception was the conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the womb of her mother free from the original sin by virtue of the foreseen merits of her son Jesus. Through the sacrament of Baptism, we too are free from the original sin and are filled with Grace just like Mother Mary.

Prayer :
Dear Jesus, thank YOU for saving me from the clutch of sin. May I, like YOUR Mother, live in Grace so that  Purity becomes wealth and power for me in my day to day life.

Theme 115 : Spiritual Awakening

Human beings are spiritual beings in the first place. It is upto each person to keep his/her spirit awake or asleep. Those who allow themselves to be spiritually awakened let go of tightly-held beliefs and views to relish a spacey feeling. Their awareness of themselves and the outside world is remarkable that they brighten the spot where they are. Their eating, working and sleeping habits are such that they promote health, well-being and quality of life.

Prayer :
God of life, thank YOU for the gift of me to myself. I want to constantly enjoy a great sense of inner peace and harmony. Awaken and activate my spirit that I may be energetic to make the best use of every event of my life.

Theme 114 : Waiting..

All of us go through the experience of waiting some time or the other for a short or a long period. What happens in us, to us and through us during that time of waiting for something or someone or some result? Each one has a unique manner of waiting. How we spend the time and what we do while waiting do matter. Let us give a thought : "What kind of waiting is mine? Patient and Calm? Impatient and Restless?  How could I make each occasion of waiting a meaningful and a sweet one?" The time of waiting is an opportunity for either emptying negatives or filling something positive.

Prayer :
O Lord, I am aware that your constant loving gaze is on me. Thank YOU for giving me opportunities of waiting whenever I need to pause for something better. While waiting, may I have a disposition that is pleasing to YOU so that I utilize the time most effectively.
