January 23, 2011 With Blessed Father Alberione and With Father Tom

Sunday, January 23
THIRD SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
Is 8: 23-9:3
1 Cor 1: 10-13, 17
Mt 4: 12-23

Spiritual direction is part of pastoral (=for spiritual life) ministry and consists in an imitation of the Master's style: "Teach them to do what I commanded." (Mt 28:20) We lead others progressively from the basics to whatever point they are able to reach.

A good word here is "progressively" -- not forcefully, but yet with a gentle pressure toward greater good. The Master has a cut-off point of holiness for everyone but the majority--even the Saints--don't reach it.

Please Pray for our Deceased: Sr. Gabriella Ambrogio FSP (1944)-- Sr. Maria della Croce Cvalleris PD (1949)-- Bro Mario Eustaquio Da Fonseca SSP (1995)-- Bro Ramiro Morales SSP (2004)-- Fr. Alessandro Marengo SSP (2006)-- Sr. M. Clotilde Gianusso FSP (2008)
