Friends of His, friends of ours...

"If love, even human love, 

gives so much consolation here, 

what will love not be in heaven?" 

St Josemaria Escriva

 

 Collect (Today's Liturgy)

O God, whose Son called Lazarus back to life

from the grave and was pleased to be a

guest in the home of Martha, grant us, we pray,

that faithfully serving him in our brothers and sisters,

we, with Mary, may be found worthy to be 

nourished by the contemplation of his word.

Who lives and reigns with you in the 

unity of the Holy Spirit, 

God, for ever and ever.

Prayer After Communion (Today's Liturgy) 

May the holy reception of the Body and Blood

of your Only Begotten Son, O Lord,

turn us away from the cares of this fallen world,

so that, following the example of Saints Martha,

Mary, and Lazarus

we may grow in sincere love for you on earth

and rejoice to behold you for eternity in heaven, 
Through Christ our Lord. 

 

Remembering today... 

Sts Martha, Mary and Lazarus
