Today's Feastday,
Today is Friday in the Ninth Week of Ordinary Time. Back in Nineveh,
Tobit's wife watches for the return of their son. The angel Raphael has
driven out the demon that cursed Sarah, and now arranges for the cure of
Tobit's blindness. Tobit sees, and praises God.
Today's brief second reading needs explanation. The scribes taught that
the Messiah would be David's descendant. Jesus quotes Psalm 110 of the Psalms
of David to show that Messiah would also be David's Lord.
Today's Prayer
Father,
your love never fails.
Hear our call.
Keep us from danger
and provide for all our needs.
Grant this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.
Amen.
Spiritual Communion Prayer
Please join us with this prayer in asking the Lord Jesus to be with you.
Act of Spiritual Communion
My Jesus, I believe that You are in the Blessed Sacrament.
I love You above all things, and I long for you in my soul.
Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart.
I know You have already come.
I embrace You and unite myself entirely to You;
never permit me to be separated from You.
