Memorial of Francis Xavier, priest

The reprint permission for the Scriptures during the pandemic has expired. Until we can establish a new license, you will find the text of the day at the following link.
Take the Gospel to prayer:

Our God is loving and merciful but is also just. Saying 'Lord, Lord" will not give us entry into heaven if we do not also LIVE according to God's Will.

So we are asked the personal question: Can my house withstand the winds that shake me? Am I always rooted in God or do I only seek Him when I feel I need something? Do I pick and choose which commandments to follow? Do I practice my faith only when it is convenient? Do I need to make any changes to strengthen my foundation?

Lord, give me the grace to be steadfast in faith.
Warning note: Since I included the Pope's comments about the 40th anniversary, I thought I would include a film clip. This is a graphic clip. It is not meant to be a political commentary. It is a reminder that women from our own community have died as martyrs in our lifetime. Since I was connected to them in my life, I ask that they be remembered in prayer.
