SS MICHAEL, GABRIEL, AND RAPHAEL, ARCHANGELS
OF THE DAY

Dn 7: 9-14
Ps 138: 1-5
Jn 1: 47-51

Our apostolate embraces all our life and it is necessary that it be felt deeply and sincerely out of great love for God, for the Church and for souls.  (SP Apr 1958).

From Father Tom:  "Embraces all our life." That's the ideal but each of us has to examine his or her conscience to see if this (is) true.  The apostolate is first of all work, and it is all too easy either to dodge it and make the Religious Life a pleasant experience or to overwork and  forget the spiritual. These are two particularly dangerous tendencies in our time.
