Missionary Cenacle Intentions: We dedicate Tuesdays to the Mystery of the Incarnation. Today we pray:
That we grow daily in our devotion to the Incarnation and its meaning in our lives, we pray.
For an outpouring of the Gifts and Fruits of the Holy Spirit on those serving as spiritual directors and retreat guides, we pray.
For the grace to ever put Jesus and his Church first, we pray.
For the members of the Missionary Cenacle Apostolate of Divina Providencia (Prayer Cenacle), San Juan, Puerto Rico, we pray.
For the members of the Missionary Cenacle, especially our sick, we pray.
For the deceased members of the Missionary Cenacle, especially Sr. Lucy Ann Coughlin, MSBT, 1950; Br. Andréthène Alexandre, ST, 2015; Francisca Muñiz, MCA, 2021, we pray.
Reading: Self‑examination should be an exercise of Advent. These days of the Novena are of inestimable value. What is that thing about us that He does not like or what is that thing that He would like to see in us? Suppose we enter into council with our Blessed Mother. She knows. Approach her confidently. Had it been our grace to have met her in those days when He came first, we would have found her simple, attractive, gracious, humble and so approachable. (MCM, p. 25)
