OF THE DAY
Eph 6: 1-9
Ps 145: 10-14
Lk 13: 22-30
Ps 145: 10-14
Lk 13: 22-30
Zeal must be strong, because "one who does not burn cannot light a fire," St. Gregory the Great says. To burn only is no big deal, and likewise to shine only: the perfect thing is to burn and to shine (SM 404).
From Father Tom: Here Fr. Alberione quotes another dynamic saint-Gregory the Great-who requires us not to burn only but to burn and shine. It's a rare combination but when we find it in an individual such as the Founder and perhaps all of the early pioneers-things got done and thousands feel the benefit.
Please Pray for Our Deceased: Fr. Giacomo Ricolfi (1982)--Fr. Pietro Mozzanica IJP (1988)--Sr. Lucina Dal Pozzo SGBP (1989)--Sr. M. Rosa Capra FSP (2000)--Sr. M. Edita Martinez PD (2000)--Giovanna Curreri IAM (2005)--Augustine A. Mennella (1978)
