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

For the members of the Missionary Cenacle Apostolate of Caminando con Jesús y María, Canóvanas, 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 Fr. Randall Woods, ST, 1998, we pray.

Reading: "Peace be to you.” (Lk. 24:36) This was the greeting of our Blessed. Lord to His disciples one spring day shortly after His resurrection. He wished them peace. Peace! what a blessed grace, the fruition of all the graces. Peace, that content of mind, that tranquillity of spirit, that rest of soul, that sense of security which assures us our affairs are well with God and man. Peace-the whole creation in its every department seeks its own peace. Man seeks it; he is ever seeking it, oftentimes in riot and sinful excitement, but he can find it only when his soul is harmonic with God's law. (MCM, p. 279).
