For 1 October 2024, The Memorial of Saint Thérèse of the Child Jesus, Virgin, Doctor, based on Luke 9:51-56
When the days drew near for Jesus to be taken up, he set his face to go to Jerusalem. And he sent messengers ahead of him. On their way they entered a village of the Samaritans to make ready for him; but they did not receive him, because his face was set towards Jerusalem. When his disciples James and John saw it, they said, ‘Lord, do you want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them?’ But he turned and rebuked them. Then they went on to another village.

Thank you, Father, for reminding us to look at what’s happening all around us. The entire world needs this message that there IS a better way. St. Therese pray with us and for us! We are all called to love our neighbor.
