Monday, July 7
OF THE DAY
THE FIRST MONDAY OF THE MONTH--ST PAUL
Hos 2: 16-22
Ps 145: 2-9
Mt 9: 18-26

Not a colorless piety, but a piety with a Pauline color. In other words a piety that is directed to the Divine Master, to the Queen of Apostles and to Saint Paul.  Queen of Apostles and to Saint Paul.  Our piety is that which conserves the Pauline: will give joy to the religious life, will lead to sanctification and to a wide and fruitful apostolate (RSP, p. 556).

From Father Tom: The Founder speaks of a Pauline "color" but he might also have spoken of a Pauline but he might also have spoken of a Pauline content.  All of us had our favorite devotions and prayers before we became members and each of these mus now be carefully studied to see if they express the Pauline spirit. Rest assured that our Pauline prayers fully substitute  all our other concerns even if we don't mention  them.
