OF THE DAY
ST JAMES THE APOSTLE
2 Cor 4: 7-15
Ps 126: 1-6
Mt 20: 20-28

A religious life is truly Pauline implies a continuing and intense activity: the work of sanctification and the exercise of the apostolate. It is a life of toil and demands a continuing renunciation, but it constitutes a continuing redemption (Calendario Paolino 1959, 16 Sept)
 
From Father Tom: We might ask: Can a life which is not marked by continuous and intense activity" -no mater what the spirituality involved-be even human, not to talk of religious? Nobody can live in endless idleness and not feel uneasy. From the Lord we received talents to be spent, ideally for Him. And how many unfortunates yearn today for work, but cannot find it!.
