Readings: Eph 1:1-10 / Lk 11:47-54
Missionary Cenacle Intentions: We dedicate Thursdays to the Mystery of the Eucharist. Today we pray:
That we grow in our hunger and thirst for the Body and Blood of the Lord, we pray.
For a spirit of hospitality among all races, cultures and peoples of our world, we pray.
For an increase in vocations to the priesthood, we pray.
For the members of the Missionary Cenacle Apostolate of María Sagrario de la Santísima Trinidad, Santa María Ajoloapan, México, we pray.
For the members of the Missionary Cenacle, especially our sick, we pray.
For the deceased members of the Missionary Cenacle, especially Betty Golden, MCA, 2012; Eleanor Kleman, MCA , 2025, we pray.
Reading: The virtue of poverty corrects all that. We should like to feel the sting. of poverty. Our Jesus the Jesus of the Cenacle is the naked, desolate, abandoned Christ of Calvary. That is why we practice poverty; that is why we hesitate to say we want (this or that.) We do not act like a prince or a princess whose every whim must be satisfied. Oh, but what princes, what princesses we will be if we restrain, if we check, if we stem those words: I want it, get it. (MCM, p. 290)
