Intro to the day: “The works of God are born, grow and flourish at the foot of the Cross.” –Saint Daniel Comboni

Today is Friday of the Twenty-seventh Week of Ordinary Time. We are praying for the faculty, staff, and families of All Saints Catholic School in Portland, OR.

In the Gospel, the source of Jesus’ power is questioned. 

Gospel: Luke 11:15-26

Saint of the Day: Saint Daniel Comboni

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.
