Friends of the Rosary,

One of this month's passages from the Gospel (Luke 10:25-37) spoke vividly about eternal life.

In this regard, St. Augustine wrote in his fourth letter to his deceased brother Sapidas:

«Death is nothing at all. I have only slipped away into the next room.
I am I, and you are you.
Whatever we were to each other, we are still.
Call me by my old familiar name,
speak to me in the easy way which you always used,
put no difference in your tone, wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.
Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we shared together.
Let my name ever be the household word that it always was.
Let it be spoken without effect, without the trace of a shadow on it.
Life means all that it ever meant.
It is the same as it ever was.
There is unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
I am waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just around the corner.
All is well.»

Ave Maria!
Come, Holy Spirit, come!
To Jesus through Mary!

Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.
Please give us the grace to respond with joy!
