Thursday, August 14
ST MAXIMILIAN KOLBE, PRIEST, MARTYR
OF THE DAY
Ez 12: 1-12
Ps 78: 56-62
Mt 18: 21-19: 1

God Himself works for those who work for God. Let s then always act as if everything depended on us; and pray as if everything depended on Him. (SP Jan 1950).

From Father Tom: The thought here: work as if everything depended on us and pray as if everything depended on God, is usually attributed to St. Ignatius, but apparently he never said it explicitly, (and if he didn't he should have said it!). Apparently it belongs to a spiritual son of his who made a collection of Ignatius' real sayings after the Saint's death...and added a few of his own for luck!
