His time in eternity

May 11

 Around three great truths must pray in a special way the Holy Paraclete to enlighten us, and they are: do we know ever better the excellence of our Christian vocation. Be preferred, be chosen from a crowd, and know that this predilection, that this choice has been made ​​by God without any merit of ours, from eternity, "before constitutionem mundi ', with the only goal that we own in the time and eternity, is a mystery so great and yet so sweet, that the soul, to penetrate almost can not help but melt all in love.
Second, ask to enlighten us more and more about the vastness of the eternal reward that the goodness of our heavenly Father has for us. The penetration of our spirit in this mystery away the soul from earthly things and makes us eager to reach the heavenly home.
Pray, finally, the Father of lights to make us understand ever more the mystery of our justification, which leads us miserable sinners to salvation. Our justification is an immensely great miracle that scripture compared to the resurrection of the Divine Master.
