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 Margaret Healey (Prayer Cenacle), Santo Domingo de Heredia, Costa Rica, we pray.

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

For the deceased members of the Missionary Cenacle, especially Sr. Consolatrix Foley, MSBT, 1931; Fr. Terrence Doyle, ST, 1994; Luis López, MCA, 1996; Sr. Rose Baptista Morales, MSBT, 2022, we pray.

Reading: What is obedience? Obedience is harmony of wills. Obedience is taking the will of another, doing the will of another. Certainly if we obey another in a thing that is wrong, we commit a sin and become a party to sin. In the right kind of obedience, however, we have a moral obligation to. obey superiors, parents, guardians, those who are placed over us. (MCM, p. 296)
