MARY, QUEEN OF PEACE,
PRAY FOR US.
Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever keeps my word will never see death.
(Jn 8:51)
In haste today, we find ourselves sandwiched between Jesus' words above and Saint John Baptiste de la Salle's, founder of the Congregation of the Brothers of the Christian Schools, below. United in faith and prayer, we go forth. Keep the faith. By God's grace I am what I am.
Let your charity and zeal show how you love the Church. Your work is for the Church, which is the body of Christ. By your diligence show your love for those whom God has given you, just as Christ loved the Church.
(From a meditation by Saint John Baptist de la Salle, priest, in Office of Readings, April 7)
SAINT JOHN BAPTIST DE LA SALLE,
SAINT HENRY WALPOLE,
PRAY FOR US.
