I have been tagged by my friend Leon to take part in the Meme.

Book Meme Rules

1. Pick up the nearest book (of at least 123 pages).
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the next three sentences.
5. Tag five people.

I was not able to grab the closest book to me, due to the fact that most of the books near me were Catholic prayer books or books not over 123 pages long. I went to my shelf and took the book that “called” out to me. This is from I Believe in Love, by Father Jean C.J. d’Elbee.

I assure you that it will help you more than anything else when you are forsaken, wrongly judged, calumniated, or rejected to think of His humiliations. When you are suffering under the blow of a humiliation, think of those He endured. He was not obliged to suffer them, but He knew how hard it would be for us to be humiliated, so He Himself willed to be the first to show us the way, in order to be able to say to us, “Where I have passed you can pass, too.”

Wow! Great reflection before Lent starts!
Okay, I will tag Fr. Jim, Nick, Alex, Fr. Phillip, OP, and Katie
