Readings of the Day
RB: Ch 18:12-19
Mass: Is 55:10-11; Resp Ps 34; Mt 6:7-15
From all their distress God rescues the just.
HEART OF JESUS, OUR PEACE AND OUR RECONCILIATION,
HAVE MERCY ON US.
Thankfully, Jesus teaches us how to pray today "for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but the Spirit itself intercedes in inexpressible groanings. And the one who searches the hearts knows what is the intention of the Spirit, because it intercedes for the holy ones according to God's will" (Rm 8:26-27).
Our Father who art in heaven,
hallowed by thy name,
thy Kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us;
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
(Mt 6:9-13)
And one other thing ... "If you forgive others their transgressions, your heavenly Father will forgive you. But if you do not forgive others, neither will your Father forgive your transgressions" (Mt 6:14-15).
SAINT POLYCARP
SAINT SERENUS THE GARDNER,
