OF THE DAY
THE PRESENTATION OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY
Rv 10: 8-11
Ps : 119: 14, 24, 72-103
Lk 19: 45-48

Mary had a heart similar to that of Jesus in sharing His desires; she made all of them her own. It is necessary that you include the desires of the Pope, of the bishops, of the priests, of the ministers of God, of the missionaries, of all the souls that give themselves to the apostolate Especially in prayer, during the Eucharistic visit, feel the I thirst of Jesus and the sighs of the Church (SPD 1947, 90).

From Father Tom:  Very nice quote and certainly agree 100%. But then comes another thought: how can I feel with the Church during the Visit? I would like to but...I have a splitting headache. Well, I think you know the answer: the headache can can, and should be, offered for the needs of the Church, leaving the Master to decide to which need it is to be applied. Mary, too, had difficult moments but she faced up to them heroically.
