TWENTY-SECOND SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
Jer 20:7-9
Ps 63: 2-9
Rom 12: 1-2
Mt 16: 21-27

Here is a half-blind man who is being guided; and as he advances, from time to time he is given light so that he may always advance: God is light (AD 202).

From Father Tom: This sentence occurs towards the end of a collection of reflections in the short series of notes here hoted as "AD" and in the original Latin "Abudantes Divitiae Gratiae Suae"--the abundant riches of His grace." This slight but extremely important piece of writing outlines the principles and practices involved with the beginning of the Pauline Family and its future (Eph. 2, 7). The reference here is 2-fold: his personal defective eyesight and the difficulty of discerning the will of God as we go through life.

Please Pray for Our Deceased: Guglielmo Stracciati HFI (1986)--Sr. Melania Lovato FSP (2002)--Sr. Concetta Anzalone SGBP (2005)--Sr Giuseppina Ciolla FSP (2011)
