ST CLARE, VIRGIN
OF THE DAY
Ez 1: 2-5, 24-28
Ps 148: 1-2, 11-14
Mt 17: 22-27

Your apostolate aims to form a new mentality in society: the Christian mentality, which then produces Christian mentality, which then produces Christian sentiments and Christian life, Christian legislation, Christian art, fear of God and all that assures spiritual life in souls and Christian life in society (Pensieri, p 167)

From Father Tom: This quote brings us back to the one for August 7: Work to develop a Christian mentality. So all we need are the latest media and when we transmit the Christian message, society will reform itself. If it were only that easy! Modern media, yes, but just pushing buttons and sending messages is not the answer. Our message is anything but popular and we have to add prayer and suffering if we are to obtain even modest results.
