Friday of the Fifth Week in Ordinary Time

Year of Saint Joseph

Other saints: Blessed Humbeline, Abbess, Sister of Bernard of Clairvaux (c. 1092-c. 1136); Saint Benedict of Aniane, Abbot (751-821)

Readings of the Day

RB: Ch 10 The Arrangement of the Night Office in Summer

Mass: Gn 3:1-8; Resp Ps 32; Mk 7:31-37

Blessed is he whose fault is taken away, whose sin is covered.

OPEN OUR HEARTS, O LORD, TO LISTEN TO THE WORDS OF YOUR SON.
(Gospel versicle, Mass)

Considering today's Gospel versicle, may our hearts be opened to listen to Jesus: "Ephphatha", that is, "Be opened!" (Mk 7:34). What is Our Lord asking you to be opened to today? Remember, nothing is impossible for God. "He has done all things well. He makes the deaf hear and the mute speak" (Mk 7:37).

BLESSED HUMBELINE,
SAINT BENEDICT OF ANIANE,
SAINT JOSEPH,
PRAY FOR US.
