Our reflection from the readings this week is:
“The one who comes will baptize you with fire and the Spirit.”
Fire and the Spirit; courage in the face of life’s challenges to faith and the wisdom to live it with depth and reflection are what make our baptisms real and our souls true.
We pray together: Impart your knowledge, understanding, and counsel, St. Jude, so that we may know the vocation where we can best serve God.
May the Lord bless you and keep you and all those you love, especially those affected by cancer. Throughout today’s liturgies at the National Shrine of St. Jude, we will pray in a special way for all those who suffer from cancer. I invite you to join us today, and on the first Wednesday of every month, as we call upon St. Jude for the healing of cancer.
