Intro to the day: “Daily work, regularly and conscientiously performed, was a sure stepping stone to sanctity.” –Saint John Bosco

Today is Wednesday of the Twenty-fifth Week in Ordinary Time. We are praying for the faculty, staff, and families of Fiat Classical Academy in Aurora, IN.

In the Gospel, Jesus equips His apostles for ministry.

Gospel: Luke 9:1-6

Saint of the Day: Blessed José Ramón Ferragud Girbes

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.
