Magnificat I
Strive to enter by the narrow door,
for many, I say to you, shall seek to enter,
and shall not be able (Lk 13:24).
Benedictus
Many shall come from the east and the west,
and shall sit at table with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob
in the kingdom of heaven (Mt 8:12).
Magnificat II
Behold, they are last that shall be first;
and they are first that shall be last, says the Lord (Lk 13:30).
His Excellency, Bishop Edward J. Slattery of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Tulsa, Oklahoma has given
Father Mark a special mandate to live under the Rule of Saint Benedict in adoration before the Eucharistic Face of Jesus, offering thanksgiving, intercession, and reparation for all his
brothers in Holy Orders. In this way, Father is preparing the foundation of the new Diocesan Benedictine Monastery of Our Lady of the Cenacle. Father Mark is available to the
priests and deacons of the Diocese for spiritual and sacramental support in their pursuit of holiness. He is also charged with the spiritual formation of women who desire to dedicate themselves to spiritual motherhood in favour of priests.
Thank you Fr. Mark, I look forward to reading and using them.
Hopefully it will be a regular item.
