We should try to be so closely united to Our Lord that we reproduce his life in our own, that our thoughts and words and actions should proclaim his teaching, so that he reigns in us, lives in us. He so often enters within us in Holy Communion. May his Kingdom reign in us. - From Meditations of a Hermit by Charles de Foucauld

One season follows another and as we continue through this Easter season we might ask ourselves how to best prepare ourselves for the summer. Are our thoughts on a summer vacation? Reasons to be away from church? Or are we taking advantage of a new season to make new plans to welcome Christ more fully into our hearts that we might truly "reproduce his life in our own."
