Blessed Virgin Mary

Saturday of the Seventh Week in Ordinary Time
First Saturday of the Month

Readings of the Day
RB: Ch 25 Punishment for More Serious Faults
Mass: Si 17:1-15; Resp Ps 103; Mk 10:13-16

Let the children come to me; do not prevent them, for the Kingdom of God belongs to such as these.

Oh the joy of the child in these photos. On this First Saturday of the Month, may Our Blessed Lady help us to be people of joy like this beautiful baby and her mother and father. We reflect on Jesus' words: Amen, I say to you, whoever does not accept the Kingdom of God like a child will not enter it. 

Then He embraced the children and blessed them, placing His hands on them.

MARY, CAUSE OF OUR JOY, PRAY FOR US.

Sometimes we may feel we are alone in facing difficulties. But, even if He doesn't intervene immediately, the Lord walks by our side and, if we keep going forward, He will open up a new path.

(Pope Francis, Twitter, March 2, 2019)
