MESSAGE OF THE DAY
The next time you find yourself alone in a dark alley facing the
undeniables of life, don't cover them with a blanket, or ignore
them with a nervous grin. Don't turn up the TV and pretend they
aren't there. Instead, stand still, whisper his name, and listen.
He is nearer than you think.

LECTIONARY READINGS FOR THE DAY
http://www.nccbuscc.org/nab/
Eph 2:19-22; Ps 19:2-3, 4-5; Lk 6:12-16
R. (5a) Their message goes out through all the earth.
The heavens declare the glory of God,
and the firmament proclaims his handiwork.
Day pours out the word to day,
and night to night imparts knowledge.
Not a word nor a discourse
whose voice is not heard;
Through all the earth their voice resounds,
and to the ends of the world, their message.

MEDITATION ON THE GOSPEL
from "Praying the Daily Gospels," by Philip St. Romain:
- http://www.liguori.org/productdetails.cfm?PC=6614
- Luke 13: 31-35 (Jesus and Herod)
Though Herod was king of Galilee, he was little more than a puppet
of Rome. Still feeling guilty over his murder of John the Baptist,
he has decided to kill Jesus who reminds him of John. But friendly
Pharisees alert Jesus to the danger. Jesus has his heart set on
Jerusalem, however, and will not be denied his destiny.
- What kind of man calls a king a fox? Why was Jesus unafraid
of Herod?
- What are some of the key secular issues of the day? How are
you taking a stand?

SPIRITUAL READING
- "Imitation of Christ," by Thomas A. Kempis
- The Voice of Christ
Woe to those, therefore, who disdain to humble themselves willingly
with the little children, for the low gate of the heavenly kingdom
will not permit them to enter. Woe also to the rich who have their
consolations here, for when the poor enter into God's kingdom, they
will stand outside lamenting. Rejoice, you humble, and exult, you
poor, for the kingdom of God is yours, if only you walk in the
truth.
- Chapter 58
