July 4, 2014 With Blessed Father Alberione and With Father Tom

Thursday, July 4
INDEPENDENCE DAY
THE FIRST FRIDAY OF THE MONTH--SACRED HEART
Am 8: 4-12
Ps 119
Mt 9: 9-13

Let us update our life to the Constitutions: it is necessary to read them, meditate on them, conform to them our thought and our entire life. They trace our particular life for the spirit, for study, for the apostolate and for poverty (UPS 1, 44)

From Father Tom: "Let us update..." A rather scalding experience sometimes if we have been letting the spiritual side of our life slide and have not looked through the Statute recently. Much more so far me--I look through our Constitutions and realize how I have literally forgotten certain points.

Please Pray for Our Deceased: Sr. M. Gervasina Zinnamosca PD (1950)--Fr. Antonio Brotto SSP (1981)--Sr. M. Mercedes Milani PD (1996)--Sr. Pia Geraci FSP (2010)--Giovanna De Stavola HFI (2010)--Ignacio Jamais (1965)
