OF THE DAY

Eph 4: 32-5: 8
Ps 1: 1-4
Lk 13: 10-17

"Docete omnes gentes-- Make disciples of all nations" with present day means: not the development of industry or business, but apostolate, following and giving Jesus Christ, Way, truth and Life (SP FEB 1950).

From Father Tom: The Founder rejects "industry and business" but yet there is a business element in all our apostolate; and if we neglect business criteria, we are liable to see the "apostolate" come to grief. Another Alberionian criterion is that the apostolate should pay for itself and support the apostles--a standard the SSP has not always reached.
