St. John Neumann, Bishop (Memorial)

First Reading: Psalm: Gospel:

1 John 3:11-21 Psalm 100:1-5 John 1:43-51 Almsgiving proceeds from a merciful heart and is more useful for the one who practices it than for the one who recieves it, for the man who makes a practice of almsgiving draws out a spiritual profit from his acts, whilst those who recieve his alms recieve only a temporal benefit. -- St. Thomas Aquinas
