Magnificat I
When you are invited to a wedding feast,
sit down in the lowest place,
that he who invited you may say to you:
“Friend, go up higher.”
Then shall you have glory in the presence of all who sit at table with you (Lk 14:10).
Benedictus
All who exalt themselves will be humbled,
and those who humble themselves will be exalted (Lk 14:11).
Magnificat II
When you give a banquet,
invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind;
and you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you,
for you will be repaid at the resurrection of the just (Lk 14: 13-14).
His Excellency, the Bishop of the Diocese of Tulsa, Oklahoma has given
Father Mark a special mandate to live in adoration before the Most
Blessed Sacrament, in a spirit of thanksgiving and intercession, that he
might make reparation before the Eucharistic Face of Jesus for all his
brothers in Holy Orders. At the same time, he is available to the
priests and deacons of the Diocese for spiritual and sacramental
support in their pursuit of holiness.
+Dear Father,
Now that September is here, it marks a full year of your blog posting. I want to express my heartfelt gratitude and pray that more and more hearts are touched by your priestly ministry.
Thank you, dear Mother M.T.
I only recently discovered your site and it is wonderful. Thank you and keep up the good work.
