OF THE DAY
St. Camillus de Lellis, priest
Ex 14: 5-18
Mt 12: 38-42

Prayer in common, using the common formulae is very important. Particular methods, different spiritualities, end by breaking unity, that unity which is a major blessing in our Institute: unity of thought, of action and of spirituality (VMC 538).

I have always said this, but for the first time I find it in a writing of the Founder from 1952 when the Pauline Family was well established and flourishing. Of course we are talking of prayer, not just the rattling off of certain formulae, but giving a “Pauline” tone to all our spirituality. (Fr. Tom)
