“Live the present moment and fill it to the brim with love.”
(Cardinal F.X Nguyễn Văn Thuận)
Following the footsteps of Cardinal Nguyễn Văn Thuận, I, Maria Xuân, have been surrounded by the love of many people, and I long to share that love with everyone I meet. Lord, my God, whom I adore, I give thanks to You, for You have poured out Your abundant love upon me. I come to realize that through each person I encounter, Your love continues to flow into my life day by day. Inspired by the example of Cardinal Nguyễn Văn Thuận, I desire to love all people as You have loved me: a selfless and unconditional love, a love that knows only love and leaves no room for hatred. Lord, I offer myself entirely to You, as an instrument of Your love. Please accept me and use me according to Your will, so that through my life, Your name may be more greatly glorified. Amen.
