OF THE DAY
B.V.M. on Saturday
Heb 4: 12-16
Mk 2: 13-17

You have a very valuable apostolate to which you do not dedicate but rather consecrate yourselves and are accepted by God (PPIII, p. 62).

An interesting distinction: DEDICATE we can do, but CONSECRATE involves something more: a response to our dedication, making it worthwhile. Dedicate involves proclaiming our allegiance. Consecrate involves a reciprocal response, usually religious (Webster).

Please Pray for our Deceased: Sr. Consololata Binello FSP (1948)-- Sr. Paolina Magnani FSP (2000)-- Sr. M. Valentina Bedino PD (2000)-- Fr. Vicenzo Marseglia IJP (2002)-- Peter M. Murphy (1978)-- Bro. Harry Morgan fsc (2005)
