MARY, MOTHER OF GOOD COUNSEL,
PRAY FOR US.
Listen to Jesus, He is passing by: Follow me (Mk 2:14). Remember too, that Our Lord did not come to call the righteous, but sinners (Mk 2:17). Thank God for that. We are united in faith and prayer, as we draw strength for this day. Heart of Jesus, salvation of those who trust in Thee, have mercy on us.
God's blessing must be our objective, and the way to win it our study ...
We must recognize, therefore, that all upright men have been graced by good works, and that even the Lord Himself took delight in the glory His works gave Him. This should inspire us with a resolute determination to do His will and make us put our whole strength into the work of living a Christian life.
(From a letter to the Corinthians by Saint Clement I, pope, in Office of Readings, First Week in Ordinary Time, Saturday)
