November 14-15, 2011 With Blessed Father Alberione and With Father Tom

I don't know if I'll be able to get to my computer tomorrow, so I'm posting both Monday and Tuesday's thoughts today.

God bless...

OF THE DAY
ST ALBERT THE GREAT, Bishop and Doctor
2 Mc 6: 18-31
Lk 19: 1-10

In our apostolate we should always feel ourselves close to the Pope so as to repeat what he teaches and repeat it with the means the Lord has given us and which were mentioned by Vatican Council 2; the media (VMC 941).

It does not seem a very ambitious or enterprising program: just repeating what the Pope says. But the plain fact is that today, when what the Pope says is being consistently opposed, our role is more relevant than ever.

OF THE DAY
1 Mc 1: 10-64
Lk 18: 35-43

The person who is deeply faithful to the Catholic Church is always wiser than someone seeking a personal and independent way of thinking and so living by illusions and building on sand (VMC 937).

This was true when the Founder wrote it in 1960 and how much more true today! Of course the Church is in far greater trouble now then she was then, but only her ministers have failed, her discipline and teaching have not failed.
