PRAY FOR US.

Welcome to the First Saturday of the Month.

Deliver us from evil, heavenly Father, now and at the hour of our death. As for now, may we, like the poor widow, give all we have, our whole livelihood, to the Lord (Mk 12:44). And at the hour of our death, may we say, "I have competed well; I have finished the race; I have kept the faith" (2 Tm 4:7). The crown of righteousness awaits all who have longed for the Lord's appearance (2 Tm 4:8). 

SAINT NORBERT, 
PRAY FOR US.

Today's photo: This is the same flowering cactus included with the reflections of the last two days. One might say the flower accomplished its mission. Or as a friend commented: "It's done. Until next time." Indeed, it competed well.
