OF THE DAY
DEDICATION OF THE BASILICAS OF SS PETER AND PAUL, APOSTLES
ST. ROSE PHILIPPINE DUCHESNE, VIRGIN
Rv 3: 1-6, 14-22
Ps : 15: 2-5
Lk 19: 1-10

Not all the members of the church are truly saints. They belong materially to the body of the Church but do not belong to her soul. And they do not receive from the Church that nourishment that she bestows on her faithful children (RSP p. 283).

From Father Tom:  Perhaps fearful that he had made fidelity to the Church sound too easy, the Founder now states the obvious: the continued fidelity of the Church is not in-built but depends on Jesus the Savior. And we can state an obvious truth: if we persevere in our vocation and hopefully become more than average Paulines, that too is the work of the Divine Master.

Please Pray for Our Deceased: Sr. M. Paolina De Luca PD (1965)--Sr. M. Claudia Gioda PD (1985)--Fr. Sergio Gallera SSP (1998)--Francesco Ugenti HFI (1998)--Natalia Loera (2008)
