Optional Memorial of St. Hedwig, Religious; St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, Virgin
Appearances are always deceiving, Lord, for one can appear holy but maintain a soul corrupted by sin. True righteousness requires a pure soul, and a pure soul requires regular self-analysis and prayer. Should we lose our sense of what our souls should be, we shall fade ever more into darkness, and away from Your light. Amen.
