REFLECTION FOR TODAY
You people of Vitebsk want to put me to death. You make ambushes for me everywhere, in the streets, on the bridges, on the highways, and in the marketplace. I am here among you as a shepherd and you ought to know that I should be happy to give my life for you. I am ready to die for the holy union, for the supremacy of St. Peter and of his successor the Supreme Pontiff.
-- St Josaphat
READINGS FOR TODAY
First Reading: Sirach 44:1, 10-15
(The Glory of God in History)
1 So let us now give praise to godly men, our ancestors of generations past,
10 But we will praise these godly men, whose righteous deeds have never been forgotten.
11 Their reputations will be passed on to their descendants, and this will be their inheritance.
