Saturday - Is 30,19-21.23-26 Ps 146 Mt 9,35-10,1.6-8: saw the crowds, was moved with compassion.
The benefits of God toward his people
The song is now being offered for our consideration is generous offer of forgiveness from God Then feel comfortable word. People of Zion, who dwell in Jerusalem, "you do not have to cry." Together with so many goods of the earth, you will be given the bread of affliction and water of affliction, it is true, but also the joy of knowing that your teacher will show you the way you should go for. Who is this teacher who shows us the way pleasing to God? The answer can be found in the passage of the Gospel of Matthew.

" The insistent prayer, knows from experience the author of these modest reflections, is the only effective way to get more priests, more nuns, more souls consecrated to God and the Church. The rest: the week vocational, economic aid to the seminaries and institutes of religious formation ... all right, but prayer is the most efficient and the most necessary
