Readings of the Day

A heart contrite and humbled, O God, you will not spurn.

HEART OF JESUS, SOURCE OF ALL CONSOLATION,
HAVE MERCY ON US.

Some of the most comforting words today come from the verse before the Gospel: Even now, says the Lord, return to me with your whole heart for I am gracious and merciful. Today may be a good day to pray with Psalm 51. 

Have mercy on me, O God, in your goodness; in the greatness of your compassion wipe out my offense.
(Ps 51:3)

BL. CONSTANTIUS OF FABRIANO,
