STS SIMON AND JUDE, APOSTLES
ORDINARY WEEKDAY
Eph 2: 19-22

Ps 19: 2-5
Lk 6: 12-16

The first thing to be done is spiritual formation: ours is an apostolate, not a "work". Then, intellectual formation, so that all may become less incapable in the apostolate. It is necessary to make progress; if not, those who spread evil surpass us (RSP p. 30).

From Father Tom: "Surpass us..." And they do. We come up against the two-fold limitation of inferior means and naturally weak human nature. But the Master faced similar conditions and paid the price. We cannot expect to do differently.
