S12E13: Finding Jesus and Seeking God's Will

Today's Daily Decade, for the Feast of St. Benedict, offers prayers for the end of Infanticide in the Western world and for God's Justice upon those who facilitate it, aid and abet its proponents, and all of us who tolerate it passively. We beg the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary and St. Joseph, chiefly responsible as they are for begging mercy for poor sinners. Today's reflection opens with this very subject, the disavowal of responsibility, contrasted with the way in which the Blessed Mother, herself blameless by nature, sought her Son "sorrowing" - sorrowing for His loss, but not bewailing her suffering for her own sake. How often do we ask "why?" when we mean "why me?", instead of asking God to reveal His design so we can better conform ourselves to it?
