Year of the Family "Amoris Laetitia The Joy of Love"
Saint: Saint Justin, Martyr (-165)
Readings of the Day
Rule of Saint Benedict: Ch 7:34 Humility
Mass: Acts 20:28-38; Resp Ps 68; Jn 17:11b-19
Show forth, O God, your power,
MARY, QUEEN OF PEACE,
PRAY FOR US.
Your word is truth. As you sent me into the world, so I sent them into the world.
And I consecrate myself for them, so that they also may be consecrated in truth.
(Jn 17:17-19)
Today, we are reminded by Saint Paul to keep in mind the words of the Lord Jesus Himself: It is more blessed to give than to receive (Acts 20:35). Then Paul knelt down and prayed (Acts 20:36). United in faith and prayer, we take note and follow suit.
JESUS, STRENGTH OF MARTYRS,
HAVE MERCY ON US.
SAINT JUSTIN MARTYR,
MARY, QUEEN OF MARTYRS,
PRAY FOR US.
Today's photo: Adorned in martyr red, this one is outside our church and is presented here to honor the martyrs we commemorate these days. He became obedient even to death (Rule of Saint Benedict, 7:34/Ph 2:8).
