SATURDAY OF THE SIXTEENTH WEEK IN ORDINARY TIME - 2021

DAILY HOLY MASS READINGS

Accept and submit to the word
which has been planted in you
and can save your souls. JAS 1:21

EXODUS 24:3-8 ©

My Soul's Beloved,

You have summed up the Law in two great commandments - ‘ “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.” This is the greatest and first commandment. And a second is like it: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.’ If we etch the Law of Love on our hearts and allow all our thoughts, words, and actions to be influenced and directed by them we will find it easy to obey all God's laws. 

The Apostles are the foundation stones, Peter is the Rock and You are the Cornerstone on which Your Church is built. She stands strong and invincible on Your Word. Immolated for her as a living sacrifice You took upon Yourself the sins of the whole world and made reparation for all our iniquities. 

Your Blood is sprinkled on us and we are cleansed of every transgression - in You is forgiveness of every sin committed by the world having made perfect atonement on our behalf to Your Father. Grant us this grace, that we resolve to obey Your command to love God above and before all and our neighbor as ourselves and the peace which You came to give the world will descend on us and remain with us forever.
