December 18, 2014 With Blessed Father Alberione and With Father Tom

Thursday, December 18

ADVENT WEEKDAY
Jer 23: 5-8
Mt 1: 18-25

If we work for God's glory for the peace of men, the Lord will be with us. But when our motivation is vanity, comfort, selfishness and the like, then we remain destitute (SP Jan 1953).

From Father Tom:  It is certainly true that hte present unsatisfactory situation of hte Church and of Religious is due also to a misreading of Vatican II and a wide-spread rejection of all norms in the name of "honesty," "integrity,"  "openness," and other fancy phrases. Now - with some notable exceptions-we have the disastrous results.

Please Pray for Our Deceased: Sr. M. Angioletta Miyazaki PD (2006)--Fr. Giusepe Cinaglia SSP (2008)--Sr. M. Epifania Bassi FSP (2009)
