Rule of Saint Benedict: Ch 5:1-13 Obedience
Mass: Acts 16:11-15; Resp Ps 149; Jn 15:26-16:4a
This is the glory of all His faithful.
MARY, QUEEN OF PEACE,
PRAY FOR US.
The first step of humility is unhesitating obedience, which comes naturally to those who cherish Christ above all.
(Rule of Saint Benedict, 5:1)
Welcome to Monday as Mary's Month of May marches on. Mary, Morning star, pray for us.
We have one of my favorite accounts from the Acts of the Apostles today. It is there that we meet Lydia, a dealer in purple cloth, from the city of Thyatira, a worshiper of God, who listened. The Lord opened her heart to pay attention to what Paul was saying. (Acts 16:14). Dear Lydia, dealer in purple cloth, intercede for us. May we exult in the glory of the Lord (Ps 149), listen and be so attentive to the Word. The Lord takes delight in His people.
Whoever listens to you, listens to me.
(Rule of Saint Benedict, 5:6/Lk 10:16)
