OF THE DAY
ST BONAVENTURE, BISHOP AND DOCTOR OF THE CHURCH
Is 7: 1-9
Ps 48: 2-8
Mt 11: 20-24

The apostolate is the flowering of true charity toward God and toward souls. It is the fruit of an intense interior life. It presumes a blazing heart that can no longer contain and compress its inner fire. Therefore it expands and expresses itself in all forms that are in conformity with the Church (SP Nov 1950).

From Father Tom: This certainly sets the bar very high indeed for us "apostles"! On the other hand, our holy Patron, St. Paul, had tremendous highs and lows. What we should aim for is "it expands and expresses itself." Don't feel you have done all when you have finished your prayers: in some way GET OUT, GO OUT, PREACH, GIVE CONCORD COPIES.
