MARY, SEAT OF WISDOM,
PRAY FOR US.
It is Saturday and as is customary on most Saturdays, it is a day dedicated to the Virgin Mary. It is a day when I look to the Litany of Mary for a fitting invocation. The title above goes well with part of the Responsorial Psalm I marked: "Teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain wisdom of heart. Return, O Lord! How long? Have pity on your servants" (Ps 90:12-13). Be assured, as in today's Gospel, Jesus says, My heart is moved with pity for the crowd, because they have been with me now for three days and have nothing to eat (Mk 8:2). We join those gathered in the crowd. Eat and be satisfied (Mk 8:8).
ONE DOES NOT LIVE ON BREAD ALONE, BUT ON EVERY WORD THAT COMES FORTH FROM THE MOUTH OF GOD.
(Gospel versicle, Mass)
