Her feast day is listed as today in my Liturgy of the Hours and the Magnificat. St. Rose of Lima, pray for us!!

Taken from the Magnificat, pg 319-320:
Unless you become like little children, you shall not enter the kingdom of God (Mt 18:3)
Only the childlike retain the child's gift of wonder. Wondering, we forget ourselves entirely, lost in what has provoked our awe. Wonder is the wellspring of praise. We have reason for our praise: we are God's children,made in his image.

Being a Servant of God
Lord, I am not worthy to have you enter under my roof; only say the word and my servant will be healed. (Mt 8:8)
Being a servant of God means respecting and loving our Master. We show our love by fulfilling our duties with joy. Do we seek to be meek and to serve others, or do we prefer others to serve us? By serving others, we serve God, but by lording it over others we turn our back on God.
(Taken from the August Magnificat, pg 102)

Behold this Heart which has so loved men that it has spared nothing, even to exhausting and consuming itself, in order to testify its love. In return, I receive from the greater part only ingratitude, by their irreverence and sacrileges, and by the coldness and contempt they have for me in this Sacrament of love... I come into the heart I have given you in order that through your fervor you may atone for the offenses which I have received from lukewarm and slothful hearts that dishonor me in the Blessed Sacrament.

Romans 12: 13-21
Look on the needs of the saints as your own; be generous in offering hospitality. Bless your pesecutors; bless and do not curse them. Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. Have the same attitude toward all. Put away ambitious thoughts and associate with those who are lowly. Do not be wise in your own estimation. Never repay injury with injury. See that your conduct is honorable in the eyes of all. If possible, live peaceably with everyone. Beloved, do not avenge yourselves; leave that to God's wrath, for it is written: "'Vengeance is mine; I will repay,' says the Lord." But "if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; by doing this you will heap burning coals upon his head." Do not be conquered by evil but conquer evil with good.

St. Alphonsus Marie Liguori, pray for us!!
God lives outside of time and space and his greatest desire is to have his creatures all return to him. God is everywhere so he does not need space. He is eternal so he does not need time. But He created it for us to live in.
"God...is infinite. There are no parts in Him at all. He is wholly Himself in one inclusive act of being. Because He lacks the limitation of having parts, He is free from the consequent limitation of occupying space. Space cannot contain Him. He transcends space, and the things of space, and indeed all created things. (Taken from Theology and Sanity by Frank Sheed, pg 64) "Heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain Him." (1 Kings 8:27)
"God, who possesses the whole of His being in one single act of infinite existence, wills that a universe should be which possesses its being in successive acts, bit by bit. Eternity belongs to the one, time to the other. God's creative act, like all His acts is in eternity because God is in eternity. The result of His creative act is in time." (Taken from Theology and Sanity by Frank Sheed, pgs 68-69) He is "the Father of lights with whom there is no change or shadow of alteration" (James 1:17)
