OF THE DAY

Eph 2:  12-22
Ps 85: 9-14
Lk 12: 35-38

If our apostolate will truly follow God, the Writer and Publisher, it will be truly fruitful and will have no end: vocations will multiply. Vocations follow us when they see us give men God's wisdom; they leave us when they don't see this. Let our daily yearning and prayer be to give God to men (RSP, p. 102)

From Father Tom: A rather sobering assessment by Fr. Alberione of how to make progress in vocations and in members. Perhaps however, this is one of those comments coming from the early days. Or is it? are we in the Pauline Family giving people "God's wisdom?" Surely we are. So why not more vocations? The only answer seems to be that our daily "yearning and prayer" are not as visible as they should be. What do you think?

Please Pray for Our Deceased: Sr. M. Rosso PD (1995)--Sr. AMedea Rizzo FSP (2001)--Sr. M. Teresa Vazzler PD (2010)--Sr. Bernadette De Castro (FSP (2012)
