WITHOUT COST YOU HAVE RECEIVED; WITHOUT COST YOU ARE TO GIVE.
On this First Saturday of the Month, we remember the attack on Pearl Harbor, 78 years ago today, and pray for all those who died there. May we go forth and with Jesus, proclaim the Gospel of the Kingdom. And each in our own ways reach out to the troubled, abandoned, suffering, ill, grieving, or lonely. No longer will your Teacher hide himself, but with your own eyes you shall see your Teacher, While from behind, a voice shall sound in your ears: "This is the way; walk in it," when you would turn to the right or to the left" (Is 30:20-21).
You have no need, O human to cross the sea or pierce the clouds or go across the Alps. You are not asked to take a lengthy road; go only to yourself, and you will find your God. The Word is near to you, in your mouth and in your heart.
(St Bernard of Clairvaux)
HE WHO PONDERS THE LAW OF THE LORD DAY AND NIGHT WILL YIELD FRUIT IN DUE SEASON.
(Communion Antiphon, Mass)
SAINT AMBROSE, PRAY FOR US.
