Intro to the day: “Eternal Father, I offer Thee the Most Precious Blood of Thy Divine Son, Jesus, in union with the masses said throughout the world today, for all the holy souls in purgatory, for sinners everywhere, for sinners in the universal church, those in my own home and within my family. Amen.” –Prayer of St. Gertrude the Great for the Holy Souls in Purgatory
Today is Wednesday, the twenty-third week of Ordinary Time. We are praying for the faculty, staff, and families of All Saints Catholic School in Portland, OR.
In the Gospel, we hear the Beatitudes.
Gospel: Luke 6:20-26
Saint of the Day: Saint Nicholas of Tolentino
Marian prayer for the day: Hail, Holy Queen
Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, our life, our sweetness and our hope! To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve. To thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn, then, O most gracious Advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us, and after this, our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.
Lead: Pray for us, O holy Mother of God.
Response: That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
