Intro to the day: “Charity lights the path to divine love.” “Imitate the Heart of Christ in love for the poor.” –Saint Luigi Guanella

Today is Friday of the Twenty-ninth Week of Ordinary Time. We are praying for the faculty, staff, and families of Mater Christi Catholic School in Albany, NY.

In the Gospel, Jesus tells the crowds to pay attention to the signs of the times.

Gospel: Luke 12:54-59

Saint of the Day: Saint Luigi Guanella

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.
