The Lord is my light and my salvation.

Today is the last 'First Friday of the Month' of 2018! Today's offering is a little bit of this with a little bit of that.

Yesterday, the Holy Father released his December Prayer Intention:


If you want to share your faith through the word, you have to listen much and carefully.

Let us imitate the style of Jesus, who adapted himself to the people He had in front of Him so as to bring God's love to them.

Let us pray that people, who are involved in the service and transmission of faith, may find, in their dialogue with culture, a language suited to the conditions of the present time, in their dialogue with people's hearts, and above all, by listening much.

Living and true God, help us to become better listeners.

HE WHO PONDERS THE LAW DAY AND NIGHT WILL YIELD FRUIT IN DUE SEASON.
(Communion Antiphon, Mass)

Let it be done to you according to your faith.
(Mt 9:29)

May all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you.
May those who long for your help always say, 'God be glorified!'
(Ps 70:5)

Loving God means serving our neighbor without reserve, and trying to forgive without limits.
(Pope Francis, Twitter, December 7, 2018)

MARANA THA! COME, LORD JESUS!

ST AMBROSE, PRAY FOR US.
