Thursday, October 9

ST DENIS, BISHOP, MARTYR, AND HIS COMPANIONS; ST JOHN LEONARDI, PRIEST
OF THE DAY
Gal 3: 1-5
(Ps) Lk 1: 69-75
Lk 11: 5-13

If Jesus says: "Learn from me" and "I have given you an example," it is because He showed in Himself the perfection of the Father to whom to aspire; to live like Jesus Christ means to live in a way pleasing to the Father (SP Feb 1963).

From Father Tom:  This is a fairly straight-forward statement sa far as it goes, but obviously, it doesn't go far enough. We are not talking about imitating Jesus or playing Him as if we were actors. That's relatively easy. But our task is different: we must to the the best of our ability, try to reproduce in our lives, as we might say, His "style": calm, strong, fearless, generous, patient and sympathetic, to name just a few of His traits.

Please Pray for Our Deceased: Sr. Flavia Vignotto FSP (1982)--Sr. Teresa Quaino FSP (1990)--Fr. Alfondo Ferrero SSP (1996)--Fr. Vincenzo De Carli SSP (2005)--Frank J. Capuzello (1990)
