LISTEN | Morning Prayer - May 20, 2022 | Friday of the Fifth Week of Easter

Today, we also celebrate the memorial of St. Bernardine of Siena, who was born in 1380 in Carrara, Italy. He led a hermit's life at an early age and entered the Franciscan Order at 22 years old. After resigning as General of the Order, he devoted himself to preaching the name of Jesus with such love that it wrought the transformation of many souls. He was instrumental in effecting many conversions. He died at Aquilea, in the midst of his missionary labors, on May 20, 1444, and was canonized six years later.

LISTEN | Morning Prayer - May 19, 2022 | Friday of the Fifth Week of Easter

*“As the Father loves me, so I also love you.”  John 15:9*

God the Father loved the Son in a perfect way -- unconditionally and all-consuming, total and selfless. In receiving the Father's love, Jesus receives all He needs.

The love that we are called to share to others stems from the heart of the Father. The first and most important step to learning to love with the Father's Heart is to let God love you. If you can continually let God love you with His perfect love, you will start to see that this love automatically flows forth from you as if it were an overflowing river of grace and mercy.

LISTEN | Morning Prayer - May 14, 2022 | Feast of St. Matthias, Apostle and Martyr

"This is my commandment: Love one another as I love you, says the Lord, alleluia." - John 15:12

Today is the Feast of St. Matthias, Apostle and Martyr. After the Ascension of Jesus, St. Peter proposed to the assembled faithful that they choose a disciple of Christ to fill the place of the traitor Judas in the first missionary band. Lots were drawn, with the result in favor of Matthias. According to one ancient tradition, this missioner labored in Ethiopia and was martyred there. Thus did St. Matthias receive "the crown of life which God has promised to those who love him." 

Let us ask St. Matthias to intercede for us to God especially as we labor to do God's most loving will each day. 

Join the whole Church in praising God at the beginning of the day with the ancient tradition of Lauds. Full-text to Saturday's Morning Prayer is available at ibreviary.com
