Intro to the day: “Permit me to imitate my suffering God... I am God's wheat and I shall be ground by the teeth of beasts, that I may become the pure bread of Christ.” –Saint Ignatius of Antioch
Today is Friday, the Memorial of Saint Ignatius of Antioch, Bishop and Martyr. We are praying for the faculty, staff, and families of Little Flower Catholic School in Pensacola, FL.
In the Gospel, Jesus affirms our worth in the eyes of God.
Gospel: Luke 12:1-7
Saint of the Day: Saint Richard Gwyn
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.
