Tuesday, July 22
OF THE DAY
ST MARY MAGDALENE
Mi 7: 14-20
Ps 85: 2-8
Jn 20: 1-2, 11-18

Always it has been said that the Congregation is like a cart that travels on four wheels: the spirit, study, apostolate and poverty. This is the cart on which the Gospel is brought to souls and on which we must stay to hand over the Gospel to souls. Let us bear in mind what the Congregation is and what the Pauline Family is (FSP54, p. 144).
 
From Father Tom: Back to the cart again! We can't claim that our Founder was a brilliant writer, capable of holding our attention with sparkling metaphors (or sparkling oratory if it goes to that). But he said so himself: If the Lord could have found a more incompetent individual, He would have chosen that one... What about you and me? Are we the key people...?

Please Pray for Our Deceased: Sr. M. Elisabetta Franchi SGBP (1961)--Bro Pietro Gazzano SSP (1998)--Giovanni Marongiu HFI (2004)--Fr. Aristide Marson SSP (2007)--Sr. M. Egenia Cecchinato FSP (2010)--Bro Elbio Juvenal Rodrigues Dias SSP (2011)
