Readings: Gal 1:13-24 / Lk 10:38-42

Missionary Cenacle Intentions: We dedicate Tuesdays to the Mystery of the Incarnation. Today we pray:

For the grace to grow in our generosity of service in proclaiming Jesus as Lord, we pray.

For the materially poor and for growth in our generosity in responding to their needs, we pray.

For the grace of a deeper trust in God's goodness and mercy, we pray.

For all those who once served as members of the Cenacle family, that the Lord watch over them in this life and finally grant them eternal rest.

For the members of the Missionary Cenacle Apostolate of Luz del Espíritu Santo, 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 Sr. Catherine Clare O’Hare, MSBT, 1992; Fr. Canisius Hayes, ST, 2000, we pray.

Reading: "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of Lights, with whom there is no change, nor shadow of alteration.” (Jas. 1:17) Everyone wishes to receive a gift; there is something within us that moves us to possess. Now, there are all kinds of gifts. Some we appreciate more than others. To know the true value of things is indeed a great grace of God, and without this grace we are ever unthinking children in our longings and searching and possessing. (MCM, p. 282)
