Readings: Acts 15:22-31 / Jn 15:12-17

Missionary Cenacle Intentions: We dedicate Fridays to the Mystery of the Passion and Death of the Lord. Today we pray:

That the sufferings of Jesus may be a source of strength to all who are ill, we pray.

That our experiences make us sensitive to the sufferings of others, we pray.

That weekend travelers arrive at their destinations safely and return safe, rested, and renewed, we pray.

For the members of the Missionary Cenacle Apostolate of Sagrado Corazón de Jesús, Buenavista, 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 Sr. Mary Ann Lieber, MSBT, 2022; Patricia Roach, MCA, 2025, we pray.

Reading: So wonderful is the Precious Blood that it is beyond wonder. It is adorable because it is the Blood of God. So much so, that the gathering drop of the Precious Blood settling in the cup of the chalice after Communion is as adorable as the Triune God before whom the Angels veil their faces while the entire celestial court choruses, "Holy, holy, holy, the Lord God of hosts."(Is. 6:3) What a faith is ours! Only a heaven-given faith could give such a truth and to have such a truth is invincible proof that our faith is heaven born. (MCM, p. 165)
