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

For a greater devotion to the mystery of the suffering, death, and resurrection of Jesus, we pray.

For our benefactors, living and dead, we pray.

For the end to discrimination of all kinds, we pray.

For the members of the Missionary Cenacle Apostolate of Inmaculada Concepción de María, Compton, CA, we pray.

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

For the deceased members of the Missionary Cenacle, especially Sr. Clare Francis Connolly, MSBT, 2002; Leticia Hernández, MCA, 2015, we pray.

Reading: The very first word of God to the human intelligence is a command to serve Him. He announces to us that He is our Lord and our God. our Supreme Master. He announces to us that He is responsible for us and no other. God is positive in this matter. In this there can be no misunderstanding. He has given us a revealed law. He has revealed His own purpose, and He says "Thou shalt" and "Thou shalt not." "Thou shalt do this" and "Thou shalt not do that." These form the Ten Commandments of God. (MCM, p. 255)
