To struggle for justice and meet only stubbornness, to try to rally those who have despaired, to stand by the side of misery we cannot relieve, to preach the Lord to those who have little faith or do not wish to hear of him … our ministry will hint to us of Jesus’ suffering for us.

The Church commemorates this Friday the 11th century Benedictine reformer, St. Peter Damian. Spend a bit of time praying with this excerpt from his Sermon on Wisdom and True Happiness.

Prayer Intention
Let us pray for all of the sick and homebound members of our community, that they may experience the healing love of Christ, and the comfort of his presence in the midst of suffering and loneliness.
