Title: Grow in Grace! Author: Mark Shea Date: Wednesday, November 12, 2003
Psalm 71:14 But I will hope continually, and will praise thee yet more and more.
There are two ways to live life. You can live for 70-some years or you can live the same year 70-some times. The reason we go to mass every week is not to have the same mass 52 weeks a year, but to grow from grace to grace and glory to glory with each passing week. As disciples of Jesus, we are to yield a little bit more of ourselves to the Master with each prayer, each act of obedience, each reception of the sacraments. As you go to mass this week, don't just praise God, praise him yet more and more.
Saint Josaphat Kuncevic bumpus ad summum
