Day Three hundred and sixty eight: Tuesday 23rd March 2021

"Without the fire of the Spirit, the prophecies are extinguished, sorrow supplants joy, routine substitutes love… The image of the lighted lamp next to the Tabernacle, where the Eucharist is reserved, comes to mind. Even when the church empties and evening falls, even when the church is closed, that lamp remains lit, and continues to burn; no one sees it, yet it burns before the Lord. This is how the Spirit, in our heart, is always present like that lamp."

Pope Francis
