heaven. I want to work for Your Love Alone with the one purpose of pleasing You, consoling Your Sacred Heart, and saving souls who will love You eternally. In the evening of this life, I shall appear before You with empty hands, for I do not ask You, Lord, to count my works. All our justice is stained in Your eyes. I wish, then, to be clothed in Your own Justice and to receive from Your Love the eternal possession of Yourself. I want no other Throne, no other Crown but You, my Beloved!” - St Thérése of Lisieux

O CTOBER IS R ESPECT L IFE M ONTH "Life must always be welcomed and protected. These two things go together—welcome and protection, from conception to natural death… All of us are called to respect life and care for it… It is the responsibility of the State, the Church and society to accompany and concretely help all those who find themselves in serious difficulty, so that a child will never be seen as a burden but as a gift, and those who are most vulnerable and poor will not be abandoned.” – Pope Francis T ODAY : L IFE C HAIN Savannah Highway at Moore Drive (Blessed Sacrament Church), 2:30-3:30 p.m. This peaceful and public witness takes place across South Carolina on Oct. 2, when participants will stand united in silent protest against abortion for about 90 minutes, holding signs and praying for the nation to end abortion.

Cf. Ps. 37. 39, 40, 28; Ps. 78 I AM the saving health of my people, saith the Lord God: out of whatsoever tribulation they shall pray to me, I will surely help them, and I will be their God for ever and ever.

C OLLECT OF THE D AY GOD, forasmuch as without thee we are not able to please thee: mercifully grant that thy Holy Ghost may in all things direct and rule our hearts; through Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end.

L ESSON Habakkuk 1.2-3; 2.2-4 LORD, how long shall I cry for help, and you will not hear? Or cry to you “Violence!” and you will not save? Why do you make me see wrongs and look upon trouble? Destruction and violence are before me; strife and contention arise. And the Lord answered me: “Write the vision; make it plain upon tablets, so he may run who reads it. For still the vision awaits its time; it hastens to the end—it will not lie. If it seem slow, wait for it; it will surely come, it will not delay.

2 Timothy 1.6-8, 13-14
For this reason I remind you to rekindle the gift of God that is within you through the laying on of my hands; for God did not give us a spirit of timidity but a spirit of power and love and self-control. Do not be ashamed then of testifying to our Lord, nor of me his prisoner, but take your share of suffering for the gospel in the power of God. Follow the pattern of the sound words which you have heard from me, in the faith and love which are in Christ Jesus; guard the truth that has been entrusted to you by the Holy Spirit who dwells within us.

St Luke 17.5-10
T THAT TIME:
The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!” And the Lord said, “If you had faith as a grain of mustard seed, you could say to this sycamine tree, ‘Be rooted up, and be planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you. “Will any one of you, who has a servant plowing or keeping sheep, say to him when he has come in from the field, ‘Come at once and sit down at table’? Will he not rather say to him, ‘Prepare supper for me, and put on your apron and serve me, till I eat and drink; and afterward you shall eat and drink’? Does he thank the servant because he did what was commanded? So you also, when you have done all that is commanded you, say, ‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done what was our duty.’” O FFERTORY Si ambulávero
Ps. 138.7 THOUGH I walk in the midst of trouble, yet shall thou refresh me, O Lord: thou shalt stretch forth thy right hand upon the furiousness of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.

Ps. 119.4,5 THOU hast charged that we shall diligently keep thy commandments: O that my ways were made so direct that I might keep thy statutes.
