Today we celebrate the feast of St. Peter Faber, one of the "first companions" who helped St. Ignatius found the Society of Jesus. He wrote:
"Seek grace for the smallest things,
and you will find grace to accomplish, to believe in,
and to hope for the greatest things.
Attend to the smallest things, examine them,
think about putting them into effect,
and the Lord will grant you greater. "

St. Peter Faber, pray for us.

Got Peace and Justice?
Join us for a virtual program August 8, 6:30PM EST, featuring American activist and writer Frida Berrigan, hosted by IVC's Philadelphia/South Jersey region. The oldest daughter of Philip Berrigan and Elizabeth McAlister, Frida learned early from the "Plowshares" movement how every voice can make a difference. Her own journey of advocacy and urban farming continues her parents' legacy in the realm of nonviolent action for a more just and peaceful world. For more information and tickets:

Today we celebrate the feast of St. Aloysius Gonzaga, one of the three Jesuit "boy saints." He was a Jesuit scholastic when the plague hit Rome in 1591 and he cared for the sick before contracting and dying from the plague.

We pray, O Lord, for change.

Jesus you revealed God through your wise words and loving deeds, and we encounter you still today in the faces of those whom society has pushed to the margins.

Guide us, through the love you revealed, to establish the justice you proclaimed, that all peoples might dwell in harmony and peace, united by that one love that binds us to each other, and to you.

And most of all, Lord, change our routine worship and work into genuine encounter with you and our better selves so that our lives will be changed for the good of all.

Amen
Prayer adapted by the Archdiocese of Baltimore from Racial Healing and Liturgical Resources.

“The plain fact is that the planet does not need more successful people. But it does desperately need more peacemakers, healers, restorers, storytellers, and lovers of every kind. It needs people who live well in their places. It needs people of moral courage willing to join the fight to make the world habitable and humane. And these qualities have little to do with success as we have defined it.”

Imagine that you are reclining with him, and Jesus’ gaze meets your eyes. How would you answer him? No doubt, you and I might be as speechless as his disciples were at what their teacher and Messiah had done for them.
