REFLECTION FOR TODAY
A truly humble person never believes that he can be wronged in anything. Truly, we ought to be shamed to resent whatever is said or done against us; for it is the greatest shame in the world to see that our Creator bears so many insults from His creatures, and that we resent even a little word that is contradictory.
-- St. Teresa


READINGS FOR TODAY
First Reading: Zechariah 8:20-23
20 The Lord Almighty says, “The time is coming when people from many  cities will come to Jerusalem. 
21 Those from one city will say to those from another, ‘We are going to worship the Lord Almighty and pray for his blessing. Come with us!’ 
22 Many  peoples and powerful nations will come to Jerusalem to worship the Lord Almighty and to pray for his blessing. 
23 In those days ten foreigners will come to one Jew and say, ‘We want to share in your destiny, because we have heard that God is with you.’”
