Novena Day Eight, Her Last Words to Saint Augustine.
We begin with one Our Father, One Hail Mary and One Glory
Be to God.
“For my part, my son, I find pleasure no longer in anything
this life holds. What I am doing here still, or why I tarry, I do not know,
for all worldly hope has withered away for me. One thing only there was for
which I desired to linger a while in this life: to see you a Catholic Christian
before I died. And this my God has granted to me more lavishly than I could
have hope., letting me see you even spurning earthly happiness to be his
servant. What now keeps me here?”
I am not overly proud of my last words sometimes they have
been said out of anger, frustration and straight away I regret those words I
have spoken because I know that I can never take them back. There are last
words I speak that can be uplifting, inspiring, and there are last words I
speak that come from a heart that loves. Last words are so significant and
important they hold so much meaning like when you say, “take care,” it is saying
that you wish and hope the best for that person. It can also be a type of
sentiment such as kindness and love.
“Your words have the power to hurt, to heal, open minds,
open hearts and change the world. Never forget the responsibility you have over
the words you speak.” Author Steven Aitchison.
Let us Pray:
Saint Monica, we pray today that God can grant us with
kindness and love in our hearts and on our tongues. May we be blessed with gentle
words that bring us a good life and great health. Amen.
May God Bless Always, Faith, Hope and Love by My Mother
Rose.
