OF THE DAY
Rom 8: 26-30

Ps13: 4-6
Lk 13: 22-30

We control our tongue when we speak at the right time and in the right way, too much to say is bad but equally bad is moodiness and a morbid attitude.

Our spirituality is complete when we look at Jesus Master, Way, Truth and Life.

Ps 24: 1-6
Lk 13:1-9

In our hours of Adoration, let us pray for the apostolate of the word and the press.

Ps 1: 1-4, 6
Lk 12: 49-53

A superficial science keeps one far from God, a profound science draws one closer to God.

Ps 121: 1-8
2 Tm 3: 14, 4: 2
Lk 18: 1-8

Is the blood shed by Jesus Christ still useless? Is the work of the saint destroyed?

From Father Tom: Clearly your answer will be "no". But the next question is perhaps more tricky. What am I doing to make it more effective? Prayer only? No action?

Please pray for Our Deceased: Sr. M. Esperanza Magana PD (1974)--Sr.M. Dina Vevilacqua FSP (1987)--Sr.M. Giovanna Marino FSP (1987)--Sr.M.

ST LUKE, EVANGELIST

2 Tm 4: 10-17b
Ps 145: 10-13ab, 17-18
Lk 10: 1-9

Our Apostolate is for every time, every place, every means of thought, everything contained in Christian doctrine...

From Father Tom: And we have often been reminded that it is unity with the Family which confers these benefits. Why then abandon the Institute if it seems ineffective HERE and miss out on its success in some other land or nation.

Please pray for Our Deceased: Fr. Gabrielo Piazzo SSP (1983)--Maria Patera HFI (1998)--Sr.M. Gian Piera Piacentini PD (2000)--Sr. M. Alejandra Herrera Lopez FSP (2004)--Sr. M. Feliciana Chiesa PD (2006)

ST IGNATIUS OF ANTIOCH, Bishop & Martyr

Rom 3: 21-30

Ps 130: 1-6

Lk 11: 47-54

We must accomplish OUR apostolate-not things which are foreign to it. Our way is strewn with grace and blessings, others are not.

From Father Tom: We are often tempted to ignore Institute work in favor of something more "relevnt." That way leads to spiritual failure. Should Jesus have abandoned the mission of the cross in favor of a more "relevant" road?

Please pray for Our Deceased: Sr. Dirce Duarte Ortigoso FSP (1992)--Sr. M. Giulia Pattaro FSP (1995)--Pieetro Tidei HFI (2003)--Sr. M. Alba Beretolini FSP (2008)--Florence Seifert (1999)--Fe (Fr. ?) Joe Small SJ (2004)

ST MARGARET MARY ALACOQUE, Vir

Rom 2: 1-11

Ps 62: 2-3

Lk 11: 42-46

Our apostolate has inexhaustible resources and ways: when one way is closed, there are others that are open but we must concentrate on our apostolate, not things which are foreign to it.

From Father Tom: Have you done anything about the suggestion to hold little mini-local meetings to share the HFI with others.

Please pray for Our Deceased: Sr. Celestina Cappa FSP (1978)--Sr Priscilla Dalle Piatte FSP (1984)--Sr. M. Illuminata UY FSP (1989)--Sr.M. Beniamina Sedita FSP (1997)--Sr. M.

ST THERESA OF JESUS, Virgin and Doctor

Rom 1: 16-25

Ps 19: 2-5

Lk 11: 37-41

In the Gospels we must search for three things: the truth (which is Jesus Christ), the Way (which is Jesus Christ), and the Life (which is Jesus Christ).

From Father Tom: And most of all we have to READ the Gospels! Sometimes I feel guilty on this point: do I read the Gospels apart from the many found in the Breviary? Maybe I should examine my conscience more carefully. Pray for me!

Please pray for Our Deceased: Deacon Pasquale Sterpone SSP (1943)--Sr. Tarcisia Pillai FSP (1959)--Sr. M. Leontina Vincenti FSP (1967)--Bro. Onesimo Valli SSP (1979)--Sr. M. {ancrazia Frisone PD (1992)--Bro Celestino Marchese (2007)--Cassie Fortuna (2005)

Ps 98: 1-4

Lk 11: 29-32

The Pauline Family derives its doctrine, its piety and its apostolate from the Divine Master, Way, Truth and Life, her High Priest and Apostle.

From Father Tom: Old questions: do we use the title “Master” when praying? Just as easy to say “Jesus Master”, as “Jesus”!

Please pray for Our Deceased: Fr. Sebastiano Trosso SSP (1952)—Fr. :Pietro Zugna SSP (1954)—Sr. M. Cherubina Crudale PD (1957)—Sr. Milagros Banez FSP (1983)—Fr.

Ps 98: 1-4
2 Tm 2: 8-13 
Lk 17: 11-19

The Holy Spirit, Giver of life to the Church, gives life to the Church, gives life to individuals and peoples. He gives hope and charity to our hearts.

From Father Tom: What role does the Spirit play in my life and yours? Very little, to tell the truth. Are we not more attracted by the old, reliable devotions? Do we not pray more frequently and more fervently to the Divine Master, to the Queen of Apostles and to St. Paul? What can we do to broaden and improve our piety?

Please pray for Our Deceased: Sr. M. Nazarena Costa FSP (1983)==Sr. Adelaide Tarasconi FSP )1985)--Fr. Agostino Monticone SSP (1989)--Fr. Gabriele Colosanto SSP (1993)--Sr. Gaetanina Modeese FSP (1999)--Sr. Christine Driscoll FSP (2004)--Maryjane Melodia HFI (2006)

Ps 97: 1-2, 5-6, 11-12
Lk 11: 27-28

This poor humanity is so much in need of Christ and of God. The priest's role is to give God and Christ to others. (SP Aug-Sep '49)

From Father Tom: That is the rule of EVERYONE who still believes! 1949-2009? The need is much more urgent, but the "givers" are few and not always inclined to give. Let us follow the Holy Father even at a respectful distance. We'll fail? So did the Divine Master...

Ps 9: 2--3, 6, 8-9, 16
Lk 11: 15-26

What the world today needs is not the light of human wisdom and invention but also the Light of Christ. Are all those inventions making us happier--or rather confused, dissatisfied because we lack the real Light.

From Father Tom: This light is essential if we wish to follow the Holy Father's invitation to "go out" with the Light of Christ. Am I doing this? Are you?
Just living your quiet Institute life with never an effort to share it.

Ps 95:1-2, 6-9
2 Tm 1: 6-8m 13-14
Lk 17:5-10

The church has two enemies: error and ignorance. She does not refuse novelties, but examines and adopts every discovery, every novelty because everything is valuable for her teaching.

From Father Tom: To be guided by the church, therefore, is in the long run the quickest way to truth: "Do not be the first on which the new is tried nor leave the old aside."

Hi God, It's Me...

If you take 1 minute to read this prayer, imagine how many prayers are going up for our country.     (Sent to me in an e-mail)

Hi Lord, it’s me. We are getting older and things are getting ...bad here. Gas prices are too high, no jobs, and food and heating costs too high. I know some have taken you out of our schools, government and even Christmas, but Lord I'm asking you to come back and re-bless America. We really need you! There are more of us who want you than those who don't! Thank You Lord, I Love You.

The world lacks in great part its true riches, Christ. Let every new means be used for a better life on earth and for glory in heaven.

Mt 18: 1-5, 10

The angels accomplish the Divine will with joy, with courage, with energy, and with love and they are happy doing this.

From Father Tom: We can do the same even if we are not all that happy--our happiness is the on the "other side".
