REFLECTION FOR TODAY
Be careful to give no credit to yourself for anything; if you do, you are stealing from God, to whom alone every good thing is due.
-- St Vincent de Paul

READINGS FOR TODAY
First Reading: Isaiah 42:1-4, 6-7
(The Lord's Servant)
1 Behold, my servant, whom I uphold; my chosen, in whom my soul delights: I have put my Spirit on him; he will bring forth justice to the Gentiles.
2 He will not cry, nor lift up his voice, nor cause it to be heard in the street.
3 A bruised reed will he not break, and a dimly burning wick will he not quench: he will bring forth justice in truth.
