Intro to the day: “Courage, courage, [...] Remember that God does not give anyone more trials than can be suffered and that his majesty is with the afflicted. For this is certain; there is no reason to fear but to hope in his mercy. He will reveal the whole truth; and some machinations, which the devil kept hidden so as to create a disturbance, will be made known.” –Saint Teresa of Jesus

Today is Wednesday, the Memorial of Saint Teresa of Jesus, Virgin and Doctor of the Church. We are praying for the faculty, staff, and families of St. Mary's Catholic School in Fort Walton, FL.

In the Gospel, we learn we must lead by example.

Gospel: Luke 11:42-46

Saint of the Day: Saint Teresa of Avila

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.
