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 Senderos de Plenitud, San Juan, Puerto Rico, we pray.

For the members of the Missionary Cenacle, especially our sick, we pray.

For the deceased members of the Missionary Cenacle, especially Br. John Mary Newell, ST, 1937; Sr. Marion Qualey, MSBT, 1969; Patricia Mantzouris, MCA, 2006; Sr. Joaquina Carrión, MSBT, 2024, we pray.

Reading: We just love to think of our Blessed Mother with those first devoted friends of our divine Lord crowding around her in the Cenacle. What is the apostolic grace? It is a burning zeal that brings us back to the apostolic days and times and it gives us our Blessed Mother in the midst of the apostles, comforting them, consoling them, perhaps instructing them. After all, what wisdom was like to hers after her divine Son. So, we find her resting a while in the Cenacle. (MCM, p. 72)
