Readings of the Day
RB: Ch 36 The Sick
Mass: Ex 3:13-20; Resp Ps 105; Mt 11:28-30
The Lord remembers his covenant forever.
HEART OF JESUS, KING AND CENTER OF ALL HEARTS,
HAVE MERCY ON US.
In today's Gospel, Jesus' words are few and oh so comforting: Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you will find rest for yourselves. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light (Mt 11:28-30). Go to Jesus today with whatever is troubling you. And take with you in your heart those you know who are sick or suffering in any way, for Saint Benedict tells us: Care of the sick must rank above and before all else, so that they may be truly served as Christ" (RB 36:1). We are united in faith and prayer.
In God alone is there primordial and true delight,
and in all our delights it is this delight that we are seeking.
(Saint Bonaventure)
When we pray, the voice of the heart must be heard more than the proceedings from the mouth.
(Saint Bonaventure)

SAINT OSMUND OF SALISBURY,
SAINT JOSEPH,
