PRIESTS AND COMPANIONS, MARTYRS
ORDINARY WEEKDAY

Rom 4:20-25
(Ps) Lk 1: 69-75
Lk 12: 13-21

The Maestro, Timothy Giaccardo, was my close collaborator, he taught various school subjects, spoke by example to all the aspirants, was spiritual director of many, collaborated in formation of the Constitutions and the approval of the ecclesiastical authorities (UPS III 1953). 

From Father Tom: Well, yes, but as we had to note already, the two Saints remained still very human especially in the beginning when things were not clear. Such is human existence: we rub against others like stones in a stream and as the water (in our case, the grace of God) flows over us, we lose our rough edges.
