Thursday of the Twenty-Fourth Week in Ordinary Time

Saint Hildegard of Bingen, Doctor (1098-1179)
Saint Robert Bellarmine, Bishop, Doctor (1542-1621)

Readings of the Day
RB: Ch 3:7-13
Mass: 1 Cor 15:1-11; Resp Ps 118; Lk 7:36-50

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good.

JESUS, LOVER OF US ALL.

Yes, Jesus is the lover of us all, saints and sinners alike. United with the "sinful woman" (Lk 7:37) in today's Gospel, and all of us with "many sins" (Lk 7:47) let us show "great love" (Lk 7:47) to the Lord for His mercy, forgiveness, and unconditional love as we exclaim, "by the grace of God I am what I am" (1 Cor 15:10). May Jesus say to us: Your faith has saved you; go in peace (Lk 7:50). I believe, help my unbelief.

SAINT HILDEGARD OF BINGEN, 
SAINT ROBERT BELLARMINE,
PRAY FOR US.
