XXIV SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
Tenth Anniversary of 911
Sir 27, 30-28:7
Rom 14: 7-9
Mt 18: 21-25

Be careful not to become “colorless”. If that happens, the Congregation (read: the Institute”) loses its value. Remain firmly in the Pauline spirit. (VMC 827).

Father Tom:The Franciscans have Franciscan spirituality. The Jesuits have Jesuit spirituality. The Dominicans have Dominican spirituality. So what’s the problem in having Paulines have Pauline spirituality? Should we dialog about this?


Please Pray for Our Deceased: Fr. Pascasio Marsigli (1962)—Sr. Amalia Peyrolo FSP (1980)—Fr. Maggiorino Portaluppi SSP (1996)—Bro Pierino Panno SSP (2010)

Prayer: Lord Jesus, our Divine Master, please grant us, on this the tenth anniversary of the tragic terrorist attacks of 911, peace and healing. Console those who suffered directly or indirectly from the tragedy and grant eternal happiness with You to those who died so unexpectedly. We pray for the heroes of the day, may they rest in peace. We also pray for the conversion of our enemies and for the ability to release whatever hatred and animosity we may hold in our hearts against them – that we may know Your own peace. In all things we ask Your will be done. Amen.
