“On the day of grace, listen to me, Lord.” Psalm 68:15-16.30-31.33-34

St. Alphonsus Liguori 

As we begin a new month, we make our own the intention of Pope Leo XIV.

We pray for our cities, often marked by anonymity and loneliness, for the indolence and routines that arise from hearts burdened with meaninglessness and deep sadness. We pray for each of us to find new ways to proclaim the Gospel. We join the psalmist in asking the God of life to discover new creative ways to build a city whose values are a banner of justice, peace and unity. Today is all about welcoming the newness that God offers us!!! We continue to walk in hope and joy.
