RB: Ch 11 Vigils or Night Office on Sunday

All things are possible for God.

Congratulations! We have seven new canonized saints:

Pope St Paul VI (1897-1978)
Saint Oscar Romero (1917-1980)
Saint Francesco Spinelli (1853-1913)
Saint Nincenzo Romano (1751-1831)
Saint Maria Katharina Kasper (1820-1898)
 Saint Nazaria Ignacia of Saint Teresa of Jesus (1925-1959)
Saint Nunzio Sulprizio (1817-1836)

Intercede for us as we pray for prudence and wisdom; to be open to the 'living and effective' word of God; to follow Jesus and sing with the psalmist, 'Fill us with your love, O Lord, and we will sing for joy!'.

To you, too, Jesus says: “Come, follow me!”  Come: do not stand still, because it is not enough not to do evil in order to be with Jesus.  Follow me: do not walk behind Jesus only when you want to, but seek him out every day; do not be content to keep the commandments, to give a little alms and say a few prayers: find in Him the God who always loves you; seek in Jesus the God who is the meaning of your life, the God who gives you the strength to give of yourself.
(Pope Francis, Homily, Canonization Mass, October 14, 2018)
