That the youth of the world deepen in faith in God and compassion toward all, we pray.
That married couples grow in their love for one another and their children, as witnesses of God's love for all, we pray.
For the members of the Missionary Cenacle Apostolate of Santísima Trinidad, Santa Ana, Michoacán, Mexico, we pray.
For the members of the Missionary Cenacle, especially our sick, we pray.
For the deceased members of the Missionary Cenacle, especially Fr. Clement Kovacsik, ST, 2002, we pray.
Reading: The love of God means the love of our neighbor. There is no better evidence, no truer proof of a great love of God, than a great love of our neighbor. Love of our neighbor is proven in patience and in trial, in the corporal and spiritual works of mercy. A treatment of our neighbor that is inconsiderate, harsh, unbrotherly or unsisterly, is un-Christlike, and argues a great want of the love of God. (MCM, p. 167)
