St. Leopold Mandic, Capuchin, Priest (Memorial)
First Reading:
Psalm:
Gospel:
Acts 11:1-18
Psalms 42:2-3; 43:3-4
John 10:1-10 or
John 10:11-18

We begin our day by seeing Christ in the consecrated bread, and throughout the day we continue to see Him in the torn bodies of our poor. We pray, that is, through our work, performing it with Jesus, for Jesus and upon Jesus. The poor are our prayer. They carry God in them. Prayer means praying everything, praying the work. We meet the Lord who hungers and thirsts, in the poor.....and the poor could be you or I or any person kind enough to show us his or her love and to come to our place. Because we cannot see Christ, we cannot express our love to Him in person. But our neighbor we can see, and we can do for him or her what we would love to do for Jesus if He were visible.

-- Mother Teresa
