MARY, HOUSE OF GOLD,
PRAY FOR US.
With the words from Saint Paul in our first reading, may we "persevere in the faith, firmly grounded, stable, and not shifting from the hope of the Gospel" (Col 1:23). Well-equipped, we are "clothed then with faith and the performance of good works, [and] set out on this way, with the Gospel for our guide, that we may deserve to see him who has called us to his kingdom" (RB Prol. 21).
Not to us, Lord, not to us, but to your name give the glory.
By God's grace I am what I am.
He who boasts should make his boast in the Lord.
(Rule of Saint Benedict, Prologue 30-32)
SAINT CUTHBERT,
SAINT MAC NISSI,
BLESSED DINA BELANGER,
SAINT JOSEPH,
PRAY FOR US.
Today's photo: I wanted something white to honor Our Lady and found this in the archives. A repeat performance yet no less beautiful and fitting.
