Readings: Rv 15:1-4 / Lk 21:12-19
Missionary Cenacle Intentions: We dedicate Wednesdays to St. Joseph and St. Vincent de Paul. Today we pray:
For a greater sensitivity to the poor in the spirit of St. Vincent de Paul, we pray.
That our lives as members of the Missionary Cenacle may attract others to join us, we pray.
That we may always "think with the Church," the People of God, we pray.
For the members of the Missionary Cenacle Apostolate of Jesus in the Desert (Candidate Cenacle), Coachella, CA, we pray.
For the members of the Missionary Cenacle, especially Br. Kervens Joseph, ST we pray.
For the deceased members of the Missionary Cenacle, especially Noemi Chipi, MCA, 2009, we pray.
Reading: What confidence we should have in him, in whom Jesus and Mary had such trust. He is one of the chief patrons of the Cenacle. We should esteem this as a very particular grace-that we have him for a friend who had care of the Holy Family, and in whom Jesus and Mary had such love and joy. We need Saint Joseph very much; we need his prayer, we need his sympathy, we need his protection, we need his influence and power with God. Having him with us, there is so much that we may hope and attempt for Religion. (MCM, p. 325)
