Monday, December 29

ST. THOMAS BECKET, BISHOP, MARTYR
FIFTH DAY WITHIN THE OCTAVE OF THE NATIVITY OF OUR LORD
1 Jn 2: 3-11
Lk 2: 22-35

We have started from nothing, from even lees, because a man, besides being nothing, can also be a sinner. We must perfect our intentions, our dispositions, the confidence that we had in the beginning, when this mission was started (RSP pp. 45-46).

From Father Tom:  "We have started from nothing." Of course. Until we start or begin ANYTHING...it doesn't exist except in our minds. So, it is courage and strength, concentration on what we have begun, not too many backward glances, and steady rather than spectacular progress. All the great inventors, writers, leaders in every field...had a dream and then made it real for themselves and for so many others.

Please Pray for Our Deceased: Sr. Maurilia Colangelo FSP (1946)--Fr. Pietro Delcampo SSP (1989)--Sr. Anselmina Cerri FSP (1994)--Sr. Panacea Mocci FSP (1998)--Sr. M. Cristina Godoy (2010)--Mary Williams (2004)
