August 8, 2014 With Blessed Father Alberione and With Father Tom

Friday, August 8
ST DOMINIC, PRIEST
OF THE DAY

Na 2: 1-3, 3:1-7
(Ps)Dt 32: 35-41
Mt 16: 24-28

There is no true prayer if our hands are in discord. Therefore, prayer and work. Action which proceeds from prayer (SP Sep-Oct 1953).

From Father Tom: "Hands in discord?" We would prefer "actions" in discord and in fact, the next line says that. "Action" is first of all in the mind and so we are talking of having the correct attitude to both prayer and work. Prayer without work? May be tolerated when the individual is old and worn. Work without prayer? Stop kidding yourself?(!)
