Saint Pius of Pietrelcina (Padre Pio) (1887-1968)
Readings of the Day
RB: Ch 5:14-19
Mass: Prov 30:5-9; Resp Ps 119; Lk 9:1-6
Your word, Lord, is a lamp for my feet.
We hear in the Book of Proverbs that God "is a shield to those who take refuge in Him" (Prov 30:5). Comforted and strengthened by Our God, we sing with the psalmist: "You who dwell in the shelter of the Most High, who abide in the shadow of the Almighty, Say to the Lord, 'My refuge and fortress, my God in whom I trust.' God will rescue you from the fowler's snare, from the destroying plague, Will shelter you with pinion, spread wings that you may take refuge; God's faithfulness is a protecting shield ... " (Ps 91). With trust, then, we set out as did the Twelve and proclaim the good news (Lk 9:6).
PADRE PIO,
PRAY FOR US.
