Intro to the day: “Be gentle to the weak, firm to the stubborn, steadfast to the proud, humble to the lowly.” –Saint Columban

Today is Friday of the Twenty-sixth Week of Ordinary Time. We are praying for the faculty, staff, and families of St. Mary's Catholic School in Greenville, OH.

In the Gospel, Christ warns of the consequences of the unrepentant. 

Gospel: Luke 10:13-16

Saint of the Day: Blessed Jesús Emilio Jaramillo Monsalve

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.
