REFLECTION FOR TODAY
Father, to defend the Catholic faith and to make all things new in Christ, you filled Saint Pius X with heavenly wisdom and apostolic courage. May his example and teaching lead us to the reward of eternal life.
-- Roman Briviary
READINGS FOR TODAY
First Reading: Romans 6:12-18
(Slaves of Righteousness)12 Sin must no longer rule in your mortal bodies, so that you obey the desires of your natural self.
13 Nor must you surrender any part of yourselves to sin to be used for wicked purposes. Instead, give yourselves to God, as those who have been brought from death to life, and surrender your whole being to him to be used for righteous purposes.
14 Sin must not be your master; for you do not live under law but under God's grace.
15 What, then? Shall we sin, because we are not under law but under God's grace? By no means!
