19th Day with Blessed Virgin Mary
Mystery of the day: Glorious
“Take heed to yourselves and to all the flock..." ( Acts 20:28)
Beloved in Christ, a very beautiful morning to you and happy mid-week.
It is with joy that we are together again this morning. From our tabloid, St. Paul admonished us with the exhortation:
“Take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you guardians, to feed the church of the LORD which he obtained with his own blood."
( Acts 20:28-29)
The admonition, though directly addresd to the elders of the Church, also extended to each and every one of us who have been given one responsibility or another.
We are being called to serve in various capacities, as parents, teachers, doctors, evangelists, environmentalists, etc. How do we carry out this Clarion call to service?
Today, we are reminded to feed our subjects, bearing in mind the cost of their salvation.
As we go out on our normal duties, let us not forget this injunction. Let it be our watch word, for in doing this; the owner of the vineyard will reward us well as faithful servant.
Peace! Be with you.
Let us pray
Grant graciously to your Church, O merciful God, that, gathered by the Holy Spirit, she may be devoted to you with all her heart and united in purity of intent. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
