Tuesday of the Twenty-Ninth Week in Ordinary Time

Saint Paul of the Cross, Priest (1694-1775)

Readings of the Day

RB: Ch 16 The Celebration of the Divine Office During the Day

Mass: Eph 2:12-22; Resp Ps 85; Lk 12:35-38

Justice shall walk before Him, and salvation, along the way of His steps.

BLESSED ARE THOSE SERVANTS WHOM THE MASTER FINDS VIGILANT ON HIS ARRIVAL.
(Lk 12:37)

On the celebration of the Divine Office during the day, Saint Benedict begins by quoting the psalmist: "The Prophet says: Seven times a day have I praised you" (RB 16:1). Ours days, punctuated with regular times to take pause and pray, helps us to keep vigilant and "seek what is above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God" (Col 3:1), for "He is our peace" (Eph 2:14). Be vigilant at all times and pray that you may have the strength to stand before the Son of Man. Alleluia.

SAINT PAUL OF THE CROSS,
PRAY FOR US.
