December 20, 2011 With Blessed Father Alberione and With Father Tom

Tuesday, December 20
ADVENT WEEKDAY
Is 7: 10-14

Lk 1: 26-38

Is there in us a desire for the word of God? Do we listen to it with fervor? Ist here in us a humble heart, thirsting for truth? (RSP p. 35)

Father Tom: This question might be3 asked also about our relationship to HFI materials which are, in their humble way, also “the word of God.” Why purchase all those books by various writers when we have the Gospel, the Imitation of Christ, True Devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary and the Devout Life, plus the extracts from the book Fraternal Charity?


My own note: We might also add the writings of the Doctors of the Church, such as St. Francis DeSales, St. Therese of Lisieux, St. Theresa of Avila, St. Anthony of Padua and St. John of the Cross to name a few, along with the Church Fathers, to that list—along with the writings of Blessed James Alberione.


Please Pray for Our Deceased: Sr. M. Lucilla Di Bianca PD (1985)—Mario Ferrara HFI (1997)—Sr. Angela Festari FSP (2000) John Yuska (2001)—Adam Zink (no year)
