ST LUKE, EVANGELIST
OF THE DAY

2 Tm 4: 10-17
Ps 145: 10-18
Lk 10: 1-9

The religious life is the fruit of a more vivid faith, of a more firm hope and of a more ardent love (RSP p. 552).

From Father Tom: This seems obvious--why would the average person renounce the three great human rights (the reference is more to the Religious Life than to ours) if he or she did not have what the Founder lists: faith, to believe in God and what the Church teaches, hope to make a positive reality of the step and love which goes beyond the merely human. It has to be recognized that most Religious get by without this level of virtue but the Church still is grateful t them.
