June 30, 2015 With Blessed Father Alberione and With Father Tom

Tuesday, June 30
FIRST MARTYRS OF THE HOLY ROMAN 
CHURCH
ORDINARY WEEKDAY
Gn 19: 15-29
Ps 26: 2-3, 9-10
Mt 8: 23-27

We prayed much before putting the Institute (= Pauline family) under the protection of St. Paul--he excelled in sanctity and at the same time is wonderful i nhis apostolate (FSP--Spiegazione delle Constitutzioni).

From Father Tom: "Wonderful in his apostolate." An important thought here is that at the end of his days St. Paul's apostolate was anything but "wonderful" --in fact, rather a failure. So--as always--we talk about what he TRIED, not his "success."

Please Pray for Our Deceased:  Vitina Prato HFI (2002)--Carmela Mangiere (1989)
