Readings: Gn 49:2,8‑10 / Mt 1:1‑17
Missionary Cenacle Intentions: We dedicate Wednesdays to St. Joseph and St. Vincent de Paul. Today we pray:
That St. Joseph, patron of happy deaths, be with those who will die today, we pray.
That men and women in formation in the Missionary Cenacle persevere in their vocations, we pray.
That the love nourished in families be an image of God's love for all, we pray.
For the members of the Missionary Cenacle Apostolate of Our Lady of Light, Trenton, NJ, we pray.
For the members of the Missionary Cenacle, especially Sr. Maria Lauren Donohoe, MSBT; Fr. Alexis Zúniga, ST; Fr. Edward Molumby, ST we pray.
For the deceased members of the Missionary Cenacle, especially Caroline May, BTMI 1981; Fr. Miguel Marzán, ST, 1995; Mary Barron, BTMI 1997, we pray.
Reading: Pray, then, to the Father of Lights. Ask the assistance of our Holy Mother of Light. Place every wayward impulse, complacent swelling and wounded feeling, every envying, slothful, sinful inclination under suspicion as a will of the wisp which will lead you away from the Manger. (MCM, p.16)
