Intro to the day: ““If you practice the holy exercise of Spiritual Communion, a good many times each day, within a month, you will see yourself completely changed.” –Saint Leonard of Port Maurice

Today is Wednesday of the Thirty-fourth Week in Ordinary Time. We are praying for the faculty, staff, and families of Schlarman Academy in Danville, IL.

In the Gospel, Jesus warns of persecution. 

Gospel: Luke 21:12-19

Saint of the Day: Saint Leonard of Port Maurice

Marian prayer for the day: Hail, Holy Queen

Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, our life, our sweetness and our hope! To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve. To thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn, then, O most gracious Advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us, and after this, our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.

Lead: Pray for us, O holy Mother of God.Response: That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
