How God makes you happy: protecting who you love
Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ loved the church and handed himself over for her [...] He who loves his wife loves himself.

Triduum of Prayer to the Blessed Martyrs of Compiègne - 02
Scripture
Psalm 62
For God alone my soul waits in silence;
from him comes my salvation.
He alone is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress; I shall never be shaken.
How long will you assail a person,
will you batter your victim, all of you,
as you would a leaning wall, a tottering fence?
Their only plan is to bring down a person of prominence.
They take pleasure in falsehood;
they bless with their mouths,
but inwardly they curse.
For God alone my soul waits in silence,
for my hope is from him.
He alone is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress; I shall not be shaken.
On God rests my deliverance and my honor;
my mighty rock, my refuge is in God.
Trust in him at all times, O people;
pour out your heart before him;
God is a refuge for us.
Those of low estate are but a breath,
those of high estate are a delusion;
in the balances they go up;
they are together lighter than a breath.
Put no confidence in extortion,
and set no vain hopes on robbery;
if riches increase, do not set your heart on them.
Once God has spoken;
twice have I heard this:
that power belongs to God,
and steadfast love belongs to you, O Lord.
For you repay to all
according to their work.
Reading
To Quell the Terror, Chap. 4
Abbé de la Marche, a refractory priest exercising a clandestine ministry in Compiègne, counseled Blessed Constance of Jesus, the novice and protomartyr of the Blessed Martyrs of Compiègne during the months that followed their expulsion from the cloister
“My daughter, are wounds inflicted upon your ear when your sisters speak of the guillotine?”
“No, Father. . . .”
“Now I’m going to imagine that they come to take you to prison. . . .”
“Ah! please Father!”
“But come on now—do you really suffer from that?”
“No, Father. . . .”
“Well, next they lead you to the Revolutionary Tribunal where you are condemned to death; do you feel any pain?”
“No. . . .”
“They order you up the steps of the scaffold—does that hurt?”
“No, Father. . . .”
“Well, finally they place you under the blade and tell you to lower your head—is that a torture?”
“Not yet. . . .”
“Then the executioner lets the blade fall and you feel your head separated from your body and you enter paradise—are you happy?”
“Yes, Father . . . I’m no longer afraid.”
Blessed Constance of Jesus (Marie-Geneviève Meunier), novice
Prayer for the Canonization of the Martyrs of Compiègne
Lord our God,
you called the sixteen Blessed Carmelites of Compiègne
to show you the greatest witness to love
through the offering of their blood
“so that peace may be restored to Church and State.”
Remember the heroic and joyful fidelity
with which they glorified you.
May your goodness manifest their favor at your side,
by granting through their intercession
the grace that we ask of you
in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.
(mention here)
Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

And, since where religion has been removed from civil society, and the doctrine and authority of divine revelation repudiated, the genuine notion itself of justice and human right is darkened and lost,
Pope BI. Pius IX

Lord, grant that I may always allow myself to be guided by You,
Always follow Your plans,
And perfectly accomplish Your holy will.
Grant that in all things, great and small,
Today and all the days of my life,
I may do whatever You may require of me.
Help me to respond to the slightest prompting of Your grace,
So that I may be your trustworthy instrument, for Your honor.
May your will be done in time and eternity – by me, in me, and through me.
Amen.
St. Teresa of Ávila

Jesus points out to me the only way which leads to Love’s furnace – that way is self-surrender – it is the confidence of the little child who sleeps without fear in its father’s arms.

Prayer to blessed Anna Maria and Maria Francesca, bridgettine
Look at your family, Lord,
that rejoices in memory
of the blessed virgins and martyrs Francesca and Anna Maria,
and grant that, celebrating their triumph,
follow the example of their fortress.
Through Christ our Lord.
