My Lord and my God, I firmly believe that you are here, that you see me, that you hear me.

I adore you with profound reverence.

I ask your pardon for my sins and the grace to make this time of prayer fruitful.

My immaculate mother, St. Joseph, my father and Lord,

my guardian angel, intercede for me.

Any time is good for prayer.

Anytime is an opportunity to talk to you, my Lord.

And as usual, I pray with the gospel, because in the gospel I have your life, which is always a treasure to rediscover.

And during the year, I have the liturgical calendar.

And it's also very helpful to go through the year in the church and like in a family tree to discover the traditions of my family, the church.

Traditions that have been passed to me by my brothers and sisters in faith throughout centuries.

And to know that I'm holding in my hands such a legacy gives me reassurance and joy

and connection with people from all over the place, all over the world, from any time in history.

It's such a powerful experience to think that we are praying with the same Jesus that early

Christians prayed and later on all the traditions in every country have followed.

So anyway, in this time of a year, after Easter, we have the chance,

almost every Sunday, to have different mysteries, to consider mysteries of our faith,

the blessed Trinity, or Pentecost, or as today, Corpus Christi.

Like a little pearl, a joy, a reality that permeates my faith.

And as usual, I was saying, I go to the gospel, to understand better, to put myself in the shoes of the apostles, to the early Christians,

the same thing. And we read in the last words that St. Matthew has recorded, uttered by you,

my Lord, that the 11 disciples went up to Galilee, up to the mountain to which Jesus had ordered them to go.
