Mk 1: 21-28


He began (Fr A.) began to pray for the Shepherdess Sisters in 1908, but they did not become a reality for 30 years (VMC 125).

Father Tom: We should do the same for the HFI and believe that the Divine Master will continue to assist and enlarge.

Personal Note: The Founder’s perseverance reminds me that sometimes God doesn’t answer prayers right away, that he wants us to continue to ask Him, even when it seems like He is silent. God, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, keep us free from discouragement. Help us to persevere in our prayers to you, that you may not only give us what we desire, but also what is best for us, when it is best for us. Jesus, Master, Way, Truth and Life, have mercy on us.
