(Communion Antiphon, Mass)
Welcome to the First Friday of the Month of May, a glorious month dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary. Mary, help of Christians, pray for us.
We have another action packed and lively account from the Acts of the Apostles today. We begin with Saul breathing murderous threats against the disciples of the Lord. By the end of it all, not without being baptized, then eating and recovering his strength, Saul proclaims Jesus in the synagogues, that He is the Son of God. The marvels of God never cease. The Lord waits for us daily to translate into action, as we should, His holy teachings (RB Prologue 35).
Little duties, little efforts, the better for being seen by no one, except by Him in whose eyes nothing is little.
(E. Leseur, The Secret Diary of Elisabeth Leseur, p. 157)
SAINT FRANCOIS DE LAVAL,
