Let us remove the mask which tempts us to give in to temptations, and instead let us allow our heart to start beating in synch with the heart of Jesus.
Let go of all the tensions that dominate your life. Release yourself from the pressures that keep you from rushing from one project to another, while abandoning your immediate duties of family, close friends, time with your children, time with grandparents, and time with God.
Let go of the need to always wanting to be seen by others, and be happy that God sees your heart and your inner motives.
Let go of arrogant looks, senseless comments, and tasteless remarks, and instead remember to use pleasant talk about others.
Let go of the urgency to trying to control everything, disrupt plans that others had made, and instead be grateful for the blessing of other people in your life.
Let go of the noise and cacophony that surrounds us and try to find some quiet time in a peaceful chapel, and spend time talking to, and listening to God.
Let go of sibling rivalry, family disputes, and domestic arguments, and instead remember that charity begins at home, and try to make your home a school of love, compassion, and true friendship.
Let go of the fear for the future and instead look at the potential in the faces of our children and youth, and commit yourself to protect them and dedicate more time for their formation.
Let go of the mistakes of the past, and see in our seniors and elderly people a treasure trove of information and experience, from which we can always learn and cherish our history.
Let go of hurt feelings of the past, and try to help those who are hurting by showing courage, perseverance and a sincere sense of forgiveness.
Look now at the face of Crucified Love, and follow his footsteps, and know that you are being carried on his sturdy shoulders, always safe and well protected by a God who loves unconditionally.
