“Who shall know thy designs, unless thou wilt give him wisdom, and send him thy holy spirit…? Wisdom 9, 13-18 Today’s first reading speaks to us of the wisdom that comes from God to know what pleases Him, what His will is in our lives; to become aware of the end for which he has […]

“Have you not read what David did when he and his companions were hungry?” Lk. 6:1-5 Sometimes something similar happens to us such as that of the Pharisees of whom the Gospel speaks to us today.

“God himself has taught them to love one another.” 1Thess. 4:9-12 We pray again today with the mirror of the community of Thessalonica, as Paul, its spiritual director, sees it.
