Intro to the day: “Happy the soul who can say from the heart, 'Dear Jesus, I seek you alone, Your love, Your grace, Your glory.'”–Blessed Clelia Merloni

Today is Friday, the Memorial of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary. We are praying for the faculty, staff, and families of Fiat Classical Academy in Aurora, IN.

In the Gospel, Jesus drives the merchants out of the temple.

Gospel: Luke 19:45-48

Saint of the Day: Blessed Clelia Merloni

Marian prayer for the day:  O Mother of my God, and my Lady Mary - St. Alphonsus de Liguori

O, Mother of my God, and my Lady Mary; as a beggar, all wounded and sore, presents himself before a great Queen, so do I present myself before you, who are Queen of heaven and earth. 

From the lofty throne on which you sit, disdain not, I implore you, to cast your eyes on me, a poor sinner. 

God has made you so rich that you might assist the poor, and has made you Queen of Mercy in order that you might relieve the miserable. 

Behold me then, and pity me: behold me and abandon me not, until you see me changed from a sinner into a saint. Amen.
