Intro to the day:  “He who desires to consecrate himself to God must, in the first place, trample under his feet, all regard for what others will say of him. O my God, why do we not ask what Jesus Christ or His holy Mother, will think of our conduct?” –Saint Francis Borgia

Today is Tuesday, the Memorial of Saint Jerome, Priest and Doctor of the Church. We are praying for the faculty, staff, and families of Bishop Mussio Elementary in Steubenville, OH.

In the Gospel, a Samaritan village does not welcome Jesus.

Gospel: Luke 9:51-56

Saint of the Day: Saint Francis Borgia 

Marian prayer for the day: Memorare

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thine intercession was left unaided. 

Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of Virgins, my mother; to thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy, hear and answer me. 

Amen
