A Celebration of Devotion & Joy
I propose increased opportunities for Eucharistic adoration. Far from detracting from the celebration of the Eucharist and far from privatizing the Eucharist, Eucharistic adoration increases our capacity to believe in the Eucharistic mystery, to participate in its celebration with devotion and joy, and to go forth in charity to serve the needs of others.
~ Archbishop William E. Lori
Year of Mercy Calendar for Today: “Attend Adoration Today.”
Old Calendar: St. Margaret, Queen of Scots, widow; (Trad) St. Landericus
St. Landericus was the Bishop of Paris from 650 to his death. He is best remembered as the founder of the first hospital in Paris.
According to the 1962 Missal of St. John XXIII the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite, today is the feast of St. Margaret of Scotland. In the Ordinary Rite her feast is celebrated on November 16.
St. Landericus
St. Landericus was a sincere and dedicated servant of God who, like his Lord Jesus Christ, had great love for the poor and the lowly. He became bishop of Paris in 650 A.D., in the Frankish kingdom (formally Gaul) during the reign of Clovis II and served as bishop until 656 A.D. (some records show until his death in 661).
He was a very earnest and devout man, and distinguished especially by his great love of the poor and by his charity during the famine of 651 A.D. To relieve them, during a time of famine he sold not only his personal possessions but also some of the vessels and furniture of the church.
He became increasingly aware that the sick and poor of disease were not really cared for by the custom then in vogue of housing them in little hotels dependent on the casual aims of charitable persons. For this, it was attributed to him was the foundation of the city's first real hospital, dedicated to St. Christopher, erected near Notre-Dame on the site of the dwelling place of Erchinoaldus, mayor of the palace In time, this became the famous Hotel-Dieu.
He was also responsible for the Benedictines' setup of the Abbey of Denis and in 653 AD, he signed along with 23 other bishops the foundation charter granted by King Clovis to the Abbey. He ws buried in the church of Saint-Germain-des-Pres, then called Saint Vincent's, where his relics, except two bones given to the parish of Saint Landry in 1408, are kept in a silver shrine. He is honored with an office in the new Paris Breviary. There is a statue of St. Landry, behind the alter of the Church of St. Landry in Opelousas, Louisiana. It appears to be that of a bishop, holding or distributing some bread or food. His feast day is June 10th.
10th Week in Ordinary Time
Go outside and stand on the mountain before the Lord. (1 Kings 19:11)
Elijahs life was in danger. After defeating the prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel, he fled from Jezebels wrath, which thundered on the horizon like a threatening storm. Weary and discouraged, yet poised at a new chapter in his prophetic ministry, Elijah needed to hear Gods voice—and Gods messenger promised that he would.
But it was only after Elijah had passed through the storm that he was able to hear Gods voice in a tiny whispering sound (1 Kings 19:12).
Elijahs story offers some encouraging insight into how we can hear God speak to us. In our natural desire to avoid stressful or challenging situations, we may think that the only way to hear Gods voice is in picturesque, quiet moments, when we are secluded and free to spend time with him in prayer or meditate on his word. Of course, those times are essential, but they are not the only way God speaks. And neither are they always the most effective way.
In fact, God often uses the storms of life to help us find his presence and his wisdom. Life is not picture-perfect. We know what its like to feel buffeted by forces beyond our control and by situations that affect our work or health or our children and their future. Our foundation gets shaken by problems we cant fix, and that can unnerve us.
But theres always a hidden blessing in these tough situations: they can bring us to our knees. Its when we find ourselves nearing the end of our strength, as Elijah did, that we are more likely to listen for Jesus still small voice. We sense that we need him in the midst of whatever storm is swirling around us.
The surprising thing about making it through storms is that we can look back and realize Jesus has been with us all along. He promised, Behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age, and he is true to his word (Matthew 28:20). So whenever you are facing a storm, try your best to cling to Jesus. Believe that even in the midst of the turmoil, you can still hear his voice and know his presence.
Jesus, help me to cling to you through the storms so that I can learn to hear you.

Matthew 5:27-32

June 10, 2016 - Friday of the Tenth Week in Ordinary Time
|
||
Introductory Prayer: Lord Jesus, today I will contemplate your love in action. You continually go out of your way to make your presence felt in my life, and I am very grateful. Thank you, Lord, for another day; it is another opportunity to deepen my love and friendship with you. Petition: Create in me a clean heart, O God, and put a new and right spirit within me (Psalm 51:10).
Resolution: I will promote the virtue of purity in my personal life and set a good example for others by incorporating into my lifestyle the time-tested ascetical methods that the Church has proposed to us down through the ages: frequent confession and Communion; devotion to Our Lady; a spirit of prayer and mortification; guarding of the senses; flight from occasions of sin; and striving to avoid idleness by always being engaged in doing useful things. |

27. | You have heard that it was said to them of old: Thou shalt not commit adultery. | Audistis quia dictum est antiquis : Non mchaberis. | ηκουσατε οτι ερρεθη ου μοιχευσεις |
28. | But I say to you, that whosoever shall look on a woman to lust after her, hath already committed adultery with her in his heart. | Ego autem dico vobis : quia omnis qui viderit mulierem ad concupiscendum eam, jam mchatus est eam in corde suo. | εγω δε λεγω υμιν οτι πας ο βλεπων γυναικα προς το επιθυμησαι αυτην ηδη εμοιχευσεν αυτην εν τη καρδια αυτου |
29. | And if thy right eye scandalize thee, pluck it out and cast it from thee. For it is expedient for thee that one of thy members should perish, rather than that thy whole body be cast into hell. | Quod si oculus tuus dexter scandalizat te, erue eum, et projice abs te : expedit enim tibi ut pereat unum membrorum tuorum, quam totus corpus tuum mittatur in gehennam. | ει δε ο οφθαλμος σου ο δεξιος σκανδαλιζει σε εξελε αυτον και βαλε απο σου συμφερει γαρ σοι ινα αποληται εν των μελων σου και μη ολον το σωμα σου βληθη εις γεενναν |
30. | And if thy right hand scandalize thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is expedient for thee that one of thy members should perish, rather than that thy whole body be cast into hell. | Et si dextra manus tua scandalizat te, abscide eam, et projice abs te : expedit enim tibi ut pereat unum membrorum tuorum, quam totum corpus tuum eat in gehennam. | και ει η δεξια σου χειρ σκανδαλιζει σε εκκοψον αυτην και βαλε απο σου συμφερει γαρ σοι ινα αποληται εν των μελων σου και μη ολον το σωμα σου βληθη εις γεενναν |
31. | And it hath been said, Whoseoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a bill of divorce. | Dictum est autem : Quicumque dimiserit uxorem suam, det ei libellum repudii. | ερρεθη δε οτι ος αν απολυση την γυναικα αυτου δοτω αυτη αποστασιον |
32. | But I say to you, that whosoever shall put away his wife, excepting for the cause of fornication, maketh her to commit adultery: and he that shall marry her that is put away, committeth adultery. | Ego autem dico vobis : quia omnis qui dimiserit uxorem suam, excepta fornicationis causa, facit eam mchari : et qui dimissam duxerit, adulterat. | εγω δε λεγω υμιν οτι ος αν απολυση την γυναικα αυτου παρεκτος λογου πορνειας ποιει αυτην μοιχασθαι και ος εαν απολελυμενην γαμηση μοιχαται |
