December 29, 2011 With Blessed Father Alberione and With Father Tom

Thursday, December 29
5th DAY IN THE CHRISTMAS OCTAVE
St. Thomas Beckett, Bishop, Martyr
1 Jn 2: 3-11
Lk 2: 22-35

Fidelity to one’s family duties is how we judge someone’s goodness (BM p. 160).

Father Tom: Well, yes, but…also no. We have all met the good people who are indeed “faithful to family duties” but are anything but sweet to deal with otherwise. Some households are well-organized, spick and span…but dare anyone disturb the order! Virtue is really DIFFICULT, isn’t it?

Please Pray for Our Deceased: Sr. Maurilia Colangelo FSP (1946)—Fr. Pietro Delcampo SSP (1989)—Sr. Anselmina Cerri FSP (1994)—Sr. Panacea Mocci FSP (1998)
