Which blood inebriates the soul and clothes her with the fire of divine charity, giving her the foo him him him him him him him him him him him him d of the Sacrament . . . that is to say, the food of the Body and Blood of My Son, wholly God and wholly man, administered to you by the hand of My vicar, who holds the key of the Blood."

A Prayer from Notre Dame University
Rev. Ralph Haag, C.S.C.
Almighty Father, giver of all that is good, hear us as we turn to you in prayer. Help us not to be like the tenants of the vineyard whose hearts and minds were full of jealousy and selfish desires. Help us this day to have our minds and hearts filled with the fruits your Holy Spirit so that we, working with your Son, might bring about a fitting harvest. Amen.

Psalm 19:10
Reading
The fear of the LORD is pure,
enduring forever.
The statutes of the LORD are true,
all of them just.
Meditation
How can the fear of the Lord endure forever? In heaven, there is no more fear. Perhaps this line in the psalm means that the fear of the Lord endures forever in its fruit. That is, it has an everlasting effect. By fearing God, we humble ourselves before God, so as to enter into a right relationship with Him. And that right relationship with God, brought about by fearing God, will continue in heaven for all eternity.
Prayer
Lord, may I fear You, so as to be humble before You. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
