Welcome to the First Saturday of the Month and the First Saturday of the New Year 2020!
In today's reading from the Holy Rule, St Benedict begins in this way: "Clothed then with faith and the performance of good works, let us set out on this way, with the Gospel for our guide, that we may deserve to see him who has called us to his kingdom (1 Th 2:12)" (RB Prol 21). Using the Gospel as our guide, we read in today's Gospel account that "John was standing with two of his disciples, and as he watched Jesus walk by, he said, 'Behold, the Lamb of God.' The two disciples heard what he said and followed Jesus." May we follow the disciples lead and follow Jesus. Our saint of the day is certainly someone who did.
By God's grace I am what I am.
He who boasts should make his boast in the Lord.
(RB Prol 31-32)
SAINT ELIZABETH ANN SETON,
PRAY FOR US.
