worldwide. We are invited to pray for the missionary work of the Church throughout the month.

Today’s Readings

The economy of law and grace turns men’s hearts away from avarice and envy. It initiates them into desire for the

Sovereign Good, it instructs them in the desires of the Holy Spirit who satisfies man’s heart. The God of the

promises always warned man against seduction by what from the beginning has seemed “good for food---a delight

to the eyes--- to be desired to make one wise”. ( Catechism of the Catholic Church 2541).

Hospitality has a special place in the life of God’s people. He always rewards kindness done to him. The welcome we

give to him should be characterised by listening in faith. ‘For some have entertained angels unaware’. There is a

need to make space in our lives for listening to the Word, a time in each day for Scripture reading.
