From “Divine Intimacy” book of daily meditations
on “Humility and Confidence”

“God does not introduce a soul to a higher spiritual life, nor admit it to deeper intimacy with Himself, as long as it is not completely despoiled of all confidence in itself. When a soul practically forgets its nothingness and still relies on its own strength, knowledge, initiative or virtues; be it ever so little, God leaves it to itself. The failures which follow, the falls, the fruitlessness of its works, all reveal its insufficiency; and the more a soul insists on trusting in itself, so much the more will the Lord prolong this experience of its nothingness.”

On Sunday at the Day of the Unborn Child, we go in prayerful procession beseeching the intercession of the Blessed Mary ever virgin and the Divine Infant in her womb aware of our nothingness keeping in mind the words of Our Lord Jesus Himself; “Without Me you can do nothing!” John 15.5

The annual Day of the Unborn Child procession in Sydney was a great success as thousands marched to defend the humanity of all unborn children on Sunday.

It was possibly Sydney’s most well attended Day of the Unborn Child procession ever
with between 3,500 to 4,000 joining the prayerful march
which was led by
His Excellency Bishop Antoine Charbel Tarabay Eparch
of the Maronite rite and
Auxiliary Bishop Danny Meagher.

Thank you to every single person who joined us in this incredibly important work to defend the sanctity of every human life.
