September 25, 2014 With Blessed Father Alberione and With Father Tom

Thursday, September 25

OF THE DAY

Eccl 3: 1-11
Ps 144: 1-4
Lk 9: 18-22

The consecrated soul feels solely the desire for things that are of God, to find herself with Him, to live her wonderful religious life in joy and to be busy with her mission (Prediche alle Suore Pastorelle, IX, p. 91).

From Father Tom:  This is a very fine plan of life, but not for that reason very easy. Essentially it seems to underline again the crying need for the Visit where we can have time to think about what needs to be corrected. That is one point. The other is that the Visit should always include prayer for the souls WE are reaching. The "reaching" is done by the Pauline person actually making material or intellectual contact, but the "spiritual effectiveness" belongs to the member who who at that moment is closest to the Master.

Please Pray for Our Deceased: Maria Concetta Citarda IAM (1974)--Sr. Rosa M. Onofre FSP (1989)--Sr. M. Giovanna Nicosia FSP (1993)--Sr. Emiliana Miserere FSP (2008)
