Missionary Cenacle Intentions: We dedicate Tuesdays to the Mystery of the Incarnation. Today we pray:
In thanksgiving for the mystery of the Incarnation, we pray.
That we may grow in a devotional knowledge of Jesus Christ, we pray.
That children be kept safe from violence and all harm, we pray.
For all those who once served as members of the Cenacle family, that the Lord watch over them in this life and finally grant them eternal rest, we pray.
For the members of the Missionary Cenacle Apostolate of San Agustín, Santo Domingo de Heredia, Costa Rica, we pray.
For the members of the Missionary Cenacle, especially our sick, we pray.
For the deceased members of the Missionary Cenacle, especially Sr. Mary Anna Turner, MSBT, 1940, we pray.
Reading: The Gospel of Love tells us that we must love our enemies; we must do good to those who torment us. We must bless those who revile us. We must be patient. We must be forgiving. We must treat that neighbor of ours as we expect God to treat us. That is the rule‑to do unto another as we want God to do to us. He tells us that as we treat another, as we deal with another, so He will deal with us. If we want His mercy, we must be merciful to our neighbor. If we want His pity, we must pity our neighbor. If we want His forgiveness, we must forgive our brother. He will not forgive our sins if we do not forgive the sins of others. (MCM, p. 300)
