Readings: Eccl 1:2-11 / Lk 9:7-9

Missionary Cenacle Intentions: We dedicate Thursdays to the Mystery of the Eucharist. Today we pray:

That the Eucharist always be the sun and center of our lives, we pray.

That all who hunger be given the food to sustain their lives and spirits, we pray.

That we may grow in appreciation and practice of our vocation as apostles, we pray.

For the members of the Missionary Cenacle Apostolate of Joyful Trinity, Clark, NJ, we pray.

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

For the deceased members of the Missionary Cenacle, especially Sr. M. Gerard Ledwidge, MSBT, 1950; Dorothy M. Schmitt, BTMI 1962; Sr. María Antonia Alicea, MSBT, 2003; Sr. Peter Therese Dockery, MSBT, 2006, we pray.

Reading: "Preservation of the Faith"-how much that expression means just now! There is no greater humanitarian than he who keeps the Faith alive because there is no greater boon to humanity - The watchword of the whole Missionary Cenacle movement is Preservation of the Faith. (MCM, p. 272)
