OF THE DAY
Ez  9: 1- 7
Ps 113: 1-6
Mt 18: 15-20

The times become ripe. They overtake men. Men are little servants of God, when they are docile and understand the sounds of events. We are drops of water in the great river of humanity which flows into eternity (SP Jun 1949).

From Father Tom: Interesting quote--new not only to you, but also to me. it comes from the San Paolo, a monthly bulletin the Founder penned regularly up to the time he retired. It contains the wisdom of a Pauline lifetime as distinguished from his books which tend to be more formal and lacking in the sparks of humor which Fr. Alberione allowed himself on rare occasions (the poor man's incessant suffering largely ruled out such sparks but made the rest of what he said more effective).
