We give thanks to you forever.
MARY, QUEEN OF PEACE,
PRAY FOR US.
The Lord waits for us daily to translate into action, as we should, His holy teachings.
Therefore our life span has been lengthened by a truce, that we may amend our misdeeds.
(Rule of Saint Benedict, Prologue 35-36)
Here we are once again. Welcome to Monday. In today's Gospel, Jesus provides a few things for us to work on during this Second Week of Lent.
Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.
Stop judging.
Forgive.
Give.
Pardon one another so that later on you will not remember the injury. The recollection of an injury is in itself wrong. It adds to our anger, nurtures our sin and hates what is good. It is a rusty arrow and poison for the soul. It puts all virtue to flight.
(Saint Francis de Paola, 1416-1507)
United in faith and prayer, we continue to pray for all those who suffer in any way from violence, war, unrest, or strife, and for all those who find themselves in harm's way.
