Today is the Feast Day of St. Gelasius

GOD’S WORD FOR TODAY:  “Zacchaeus received Jesus joyfully”                                  Luke 19:1-10

 REFLECTION:  What would you do if Jesus knocked on your door and said, “I must stay at your home today”?

PRAYER: “Lord Jesus, come and stay with me. Fill my life with your peace, my home with your presence, and my heart with your praise. Help me to show kindness, mercy, and goodness to all, even to those who cause me ill-will or harm.”  

Happy birthday to Br. Michael “Mikey” Cua FSC who is celebrating his birthday today, Nov. 21. More power and God bless!
