March 9, 2016 With Blessed Father Alberione and With Father Tom

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 9

ST FRANCES OF ROME, RELIGIOUS
LENTEN WEEKDAY
Is 49: 8-15
Ps 145: 8-9, 13-18
Jn 5: 17-30  

As a Pauline Religious the [Brother's] spirit is characterized by a) prayer, where emphasis is on atonement; b) habitual recollection and a sense of silence; c) submissive and serene participation in the apostolate by means of technical work and promotion; d) constant striving for Pauline perfection (UPS, IV, 189).

FROM FATHER TOM: The references to Brothers are especially relevant in March--dominated by St. Joseph, their holy Patron--but we could all practice these things and with great profit.
