November 6 Ordinary Weekday
Phil 3: 17- 4: 1/ Ps 122: 1-2. 3-4ab. 4cd-5/ Lk 16: 1-8

But our citizenship is in heaven,
and from it we also await a savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.
He will change our lowly body
to conform with his glorified Body
by the power that enables him also
to bring all things into subjection to himself. Phil 3
On the contrary, if “you seek to love God, to serve others, if you are meek, if you are humble... you are on a good path. Your citizen card is good: it is of Heaven!”
Pope Francis

How do I live as a citizen of heaven?

November 5 Ordinary Weekday
Phil 3: 3-8a/ Ps 105: 2-3. 4-5. 6-7/ Lk 15: 1-10

"Or what woman having ten coins and losing one
would not light a lamp and sweep the house,
searching carefully until she finds it?
And when she does find it,
she calls together her friends and neighbors
and says to them,
'Rejoice with me because I have found the coin that I lost.'
In just the same way, I tell you,
there will be rejoicing among the angels of God
over one sinner who repents." Lk 15

Let us be souls of charity towards all and in all circumstances. Let us radiate the charity of God which endures, bears all things patiently, pardons, restores, encourages and loves. Let us clothe our charity with meekness and humility that wins hearts for God.
V. Rev. Mother Mary of Providence, sscm

How do I radiate the charity of God?

November 4 Charles Borromeo, bishop
Phil 2: 12-18/ Ps 27: 1. 4. 13-14/ Lk 14: 25-33

My beloved, obedient as you have always been,
not only when I am present but all the more now when I am absent,
work out your salvation with fear and trembling.
For God is the one who, for his good purpose,
works in you both to desire and to work.
Do everything without grumbling or questioning,
that you may be blameless and innocent,
children of God without blemish
in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation,
among whom you shine like lights in the world,
as you hold on to the word of life,
so that my boast for the day of Christ may be
that I did not run in vain or labor in vain. Phil 2

Oh, the thought of Heaven! If we were to think of it every day, what strength, what courage we would draw from its consideration! Everything passes—joys and sorrows, suffering and sacrifice—but the celestial happiness of the next life will never pass. Its grandeur will be proportioned to the merits we have acquired here on earth in the midst of so many opportunities.
Rev. François Delaplace, C.S.Sp.

What sustains me in my desire to do good?

November 3 Martin de Porres, religious
Phil 2: 5-11/ Ps 22: 26b-27. 28-30ab. 30e. 31-32/ Lk 14: 15-24

Have among yourselves the same attitude
that is also yours in Christ Jesus,
Who, though he was in the form of God,
did not regard equality with God
something to be grasped.
Rather, he emptied himself,
taking the form of a slave,
coming in human likeness;
and, found human in appearance,
he humbled himself,
becoming obedient to death,
even death on a cross.
Because of this, God greatly exalted him
and bestowed on him the name
that is above every name,
that at the name of Jesus
every knee should bend,
of those in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
and every tongue confess that
Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father. Phil 2

The great principle from which we must never depart is that we must act in all things for only the good pleasure of God and do nothing except by the movement of the grace of God that is in us.
Ven. François Libermann

What is the grace of God that is within me moving me to do this day?

November 2 The Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed (All Souls)
Wis 3: 1-9/ Rom 5: 5-11 or Rom 6: 3-9/ Jn 6: 37-40

Jesus said to his disciples:
"Beware that your hearts do not become drowsy
from carousing and drunkenness
and the anxieties of daily life,
and that day catch you by surprise like a trap.
For that day will assault everyone
who lives on the face of the earth.
Be vigilant at all times
to stand before the Son of Man." Jn 6

It is at the end of this life that we shall be happy to have served God. Then we shall see with surprise the wonderful fruit of the few beads of sweat that have fallen from our brow and we shall discover the treasure that lay, unknown to us, at the bottom of the chalice that we have accepted.
Rev. François Delaplace, C.S.Sp.

What is the legacy you would like to leave to those who come after you?

November 1 Solemnity of All Saints
Rv 7: 2-4. 9-14/ Ps 24: 1b-2. 3-4ab. 5-6/ 1 Jn 3: 1-3/ Mt 5: 1-12a

See what love the Father has bestowed on us
that we may be called the children of God.
Yet so we are.
The reason the world does not know us
is that it did not know him.
Beloved, we are God's children now;
what we shall be has not yet been revealed.
We do know that when it is revealed we shall be like him,
for we shall see him as he is.
Everyone who has this hope based on him makes himself pure,
as he is pure. 1 Jn 3

The observance of All Saint’s Day is a very impressive event for the heart of a Catholic with an active and living Faith. He sees himself midway in the great family of the Church. Above him in heaven, he contemplates his brethren among the blessed. Beneath him in purgatory, he sees his brethren making satisfaction and reparation for sin. He admires the first and has compassion for the second. He beseeches the former to extend a helping hand to draw him to their happy state, and he prays for the latter to obtain for them the happiness he hopes will someday be his own.
Rev. François Delaplace, C.S.Sp.

What is the hope that I hold in my heart?

October 31 Ordinary Weekday
Phil 1: 18b-26/ Ps 42: 2. 3. 5cdef/ Lk 14: 1. 7-11

Rather, when you are invited,
go and take the lowest place
so that when the host comes to you he may say,
'My friend, move up to a higher position.'
Then you will enjoy the esteem of your companions at the table.
For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled,
but the one who humbles himself will be exalted. Lk 14

In this wretched exile of suffering and crosses of all kinds, let us think of Heaven, of that eternal rest and infinite happiness in God. This thought will console us, sustain in us and strengthen us. Let us throw ourselves into the arms of Jesus and love the cross in Him Who will someday change it into pure delight in everlasting Love.
Rev. François Delaplace, C.S.Sp.

In what situations do I need to humble myself and throw myself in the arms of Jesus?

10/30/2026

October 30 Ordinary Weekday
Phil 1: 1-11/ Ps 111: 1-2. 3-4. 5-6/ Lk 14: 1-6

And this is my prayer:
that your love may increase ever more and more
in knowledge and every kind of perception,
to discern what is of value,
so that you may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ,
filled with the fruit of righteousness
that comes through Jesus Christ
for the glory and praise of God. Phil 1

May your hearts be as pure and white as snow, all on fire with love for the Divine Savior who is preparing to enter your poor, humble dwelling.
Rev. François Delaplace, C.S.Sp.

What is the state of my heart?

10/29/2026

October 29 Ordinary Weekday
Eph 6: 10-20/ Ps 144: 1b. 2. 9-10/ Lk 13: 31-35

“Jerusalem, Jerusalem,
you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you,
how many times I yearned to gather your children together
as a hen gathers her brood under her wings,
but you were unwilling!
Behold, your house will be abandoned.
But I tell you, you will not see me until the time comes when you say,
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.” Lk 13

Many a sin has sullied me in body and in soul because I did not restrain my thoughts nor guard my lips: nevertheless it is to Thee, O God of majesty and love, that I turn in my extremity, for Thou art the fount of mercy; to Thee, as quickly as I may, I speed: for Thou alone canst heal me; I take refuge under Thy protection. Saint Ambrose

To whom do I turn for protection?
