Intro to the day: “O name of Mary! Joy in the heart, honey in the mouth, melody to the ear of Her devout clients!” –Saint Anthony of Padua
Today is Friday of the Twenty-third Week of Ordinary Time. We are praying for the faculty, staff, and families of The Madeleine Catholic School in Portland, OR.
In the Gospel, Jesus tells us to first examine our own souls.
Gospel: Luke 6:39-42
Saint of the Day: Holy Name of Mary –St. Bernard of Clairvaux Homily: Two in Praise of the Blessed Virgin Mary
Marian prayer for the day: O Mother of my God, and my Lady Mary - St. Alphonsus de Liguori
O, Mother of my God, and my Lady Mary; as a beggar, all wounded and sore, presents himself before a great Queen, so do I present myself before you, who are Queen of heaven and earth.
From the lofty throne on which you sit, disdain not, I implore you, to cast your eyes on me, a poor sinner.
God has made you so rich that you might assist the poor, and has made you Queen of Mercy in order that you might relieve the miserable.
Behold me then, and pity me: behold me and abandon me not, until you see me changed from a sinner into a saint.
Amen.
