OF THE DAY

Col 2:6-15

Lk 6: 12-19

Every pain confided to Jesus becomes light if accepted from His hands and in those circumstances it ceases to be a cross. (BM 536).

From Father Tom: Not, I would imagine the sense that the pain disappears but rather that the pain is now accepted because of its redemptive value. No pain is easy to bear but the thought that all our pain can be redemptive gives a new meaning to it.

Please pray for Our Deceased: Antonietta Cafaro IAM (1973)—Sr. Rosa Cummaudo SGBP (1985)—Fr. Alfonso Colaneri IJP (1990)—Sr. M. Ausilia Castillo PD (2007)—Fr. Antonio Mighita SSP (2010)—Pablo M. Garcia 1990)

OF THE DAY

St. Peter Claver, priest

Col 1: 23-2:3

Lk 6: 6-11

Among the last words of Jesus to His apostles at the Last Supper was: “Love one another.” Love of the truth, for the truth and in this truth is the first and most sanctifying. And He appealed to His Father: “Sanctifying them in truth.”

In our case the truth is our Pauline prayers and practices and the theory that underlies our work in the Church. WE are for sure not a major group of consecrated people so we have to accept our prayers and practices as being the real reason we do any good I the Church.

From Father Tom: Exactly. And so, what do I intend to do TODAY to continue on the road to heaven.

Please pray for Our Deceased: Sr. Dorotea Marchisio FSP (1945)—Fr. Francesco Perino SSP (1946)—Sr. M. Lucia Gironelli PD (1977)—Sr. M. Angelina Bordino PD (1978)—Fr.
