Readings: Phil 2:5-11 / Lk 14:15-24

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 Holy Trinity, Holy Trinity, AL, we pray.

For the members of the Missionary Cenacle, especially Sr. María Zepeda, MSBT we pray.

For the deceased members of the Missionary Cenacle, especially Edna Markulec, MCA, 2009; Sr. Mary Bartholomew Cosolito, MSBT, 2016, we pray.

Reading: Virtue can be acquired only by prayer and practice. We cannot be patient or have the habit of patience until we have exercised ourselves repeatedly in acts of patience - You cannot be truly virtuous unless through prayer and effort you turn to profit the graces that God gives you. (MCM, p. 306)
