That the Holy Spirit may gift zealous women and men with vocations to the Missionary Cenacle, we pray.

That we show our gratitude for material blessings by frugality and care, we pray.

For the members of the Missionary Cenacle Apostolate of San Felipe de Jesús, San Juan Capistrano, CA, we pray.

Reading: This virtue of Holy Poverty, taught and practiced by our divine Lord and exemplified so perfectly by His Immaculate Mother Mary, and Saint Joseph, is most necessary for us lest we be infected with the spendthrift spirit so prevalent, and be contaminated by the worldliness. (MCM, p. 265)
