JESUS, CROWN OF SAINTS,
PRAY FOR US.
As we continue our romp through the beautiful month of November, we have much to celebrate with the saints of our Church, those known and unknown to us. We turn to words from the Prophet Isaiah: "I rejoice heartily in the Lord, in my God is the joy of my soul" (Is 61:10). We thank God for our faith and pray for more faith. We are called this day, and every day, to "love one another" (2 Jn 5) and walk according to Our Lord's commandments (2 Jn 6). If you remain in the me, says the Lord, and my words remain in you, ask for whatever you want and it will be done for you. For by this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and become my disciples (Jn 15:7-8). "As we progress in this way of life and in faith, we shall run on the path of God's commandments, our hearts overflowing with the inexpressible delight of love" (RB Prologue 49).
MOTHER FRANCIS XAVIER CABRINI,
ALL SAINTS OF THE BENEDICTINE FAMILY,
PRAY FOR US.
