Today's Gospel

Take nothing for the journey: neither staff, nor haversack, nor bread, nor money; and do not have a spare tunic.

Luke 9: 3.

Luke 9: 1 - 6.

1 He called the Twelve together and gave them power and authority over all devils and to cure diseases,

2 and he sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal.

3 He said to them, 'Take nothing for the journey: neither staff, nor haversack, nor bread, nor money; and do not have a spare tunic.

4 Whatever house you enter, stay there; and when you leave let your departure be from there.

5 As for those who do not welcome you, when you leave their town shake the dust from your feet as evidence against them.'

6 So they set out and went from village to village proclaiming the good news and healing everywhere.

Taken from: Give Us This Day

The Work We Have Begun.

O dearest one, look up to heaven, which calls us on, and take up the Cross and follow Christ Who has gone on before us: for through Him we shall enter into His glory after many and diverse tribulations. Love God from the depths of your heart and Jesus, His Son, Who was crucified for us sinners. Never let the thought of Him leave your mind but meditate constantly on the mysteries of the Cross and the anguish of His mother as she stood beneath the Cross.

Pray and watch at all times! Carry out steadfastly the work you have begun and fulfill the ministry you have undertaken in true humility and holy poverty. Fear not! God, Who is faithful in all His words and holy in all His deeds, will pour His blessings upon you. He will be your help and best comforter for He is our Redeemer and our eternal reward.

Let us pray to God together for each other for, by sharing each other’s burden of charity in this way, we shall easily fulfill the law of Christ. Amen.

St. Clare of Assisi, adapted from a letter to Ermentrude of Bruges. Taken from Give Us This Day.

St. Clare of Assisi (1194–1253), one of the first followers of St. Francis of Assisi, founded the Order of Poor Ladies. After her death, the order was renamed the Order of St. Clare, commonly known today as the Poor Clares.

Marist Source

Marcellin taught the first Brothers: To make Jesus Christ known and loved is the aim of our vocation and the whole purpose of the institute, if we were to fail in this purpose, our congregation would be useless…

In what ways do I help my colleagues, students to make Jesus known and loved?

Closing Prayer

All Loving God

Cultivate in us a spirituality that flows out of Marian simplicity, humility and modesty.

Release in us wellsprings of refreshment, inspiration and excitement for your work in which we share.

Help us set our gaze on those people and places most in need of Christlife,

Impel us to respond together,

And lead us to be in communion with one another, and with you.

Like Mary, we listen for your invitation,

Like Mary, we set out joyfully and in haste to the hill country of the lives of young people,

Like Mary, we build communities in ways that are Christ-centred.

All Loving God, come and live in our hearts.

 

 Amen
