Missionary Cenacle Intentions: We dedicate Sundays to the Mystery of the Most Holy Trinity. Today we pray:
That we grow in our love of God our Father, of his Son Jesus and of the Holy Spirit, we pray.
In gratitude for the gift of Faith and that it may pervade all our decisions, we pray.
That we recognize the providence of God in our everyday lives, we pray.
For the members of the Missionary Cenacle Apostolate of Magnificat, Seattle, WA, we pray.
For the members of the Missionary Cenacle, especially our sick, we pray.
For the deceased members of the Missionary Cenacle, especially Fr. Jude McCauley, ST, 1993; Sr. Marie Encarnación Caparros, MSBT, 1997; Fr. Denis Fitzgerald, ST, 1999; Debbie McDermott, MCA, 2004; Pat Hartridge, MCA, 2005, we pray.
Reading: You must be most impersonal and unemotional in settling conflicting accounts or charges and be slow to action. Should a condition exist, adjust it prudently so that no feelings will be hurt. Never attribute or permit another to attribute this or that motive to another. God alone knows the secrets of hearts. Be non-committal; be impartial and most judicial. Give out nothing, but listen and when you are morally sure, do not spare correction or admonition. But let all be done in the Spirit of Christ so that the guilty may be quite charmed with your gentle and sweet justice more than soft and favoring words from others. (MCM, p. 18)
