Readings of the Day

God is with us.
JESUS, LOVER OF US,
HAVE MERCY ON US.
This line got me yesterday, from The Diary of a Country Priest: "Ah, if we only knew how to pray!" Jesus taught us how to pray though, and Saint Benedict echoes in the First Step of Humility, "And in the Prayer too we ask God that his will be done in us" (RB 7:20). Let us join together this day, united in faith and prayer, and pray with the Prayer, that is, the Lord's Prayer. Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name ...
Christian spirituality proposes moderation and simplicity which allows us to stop and appreciate the small things, to be grateful for the opportunities life affords us, to be spiritually detached from what we possess, and not succumb to sadness for what we lack.
(Pope Francis, Twitter, September 28, 2021)
SAINT WENCESLAUS,
SAINTS LAWRENCE RUIZ AND COMPANIONS,
SAINT JOSEPH,
PRAY FOR US.
