FOCAL POINT:

“In gratitude for His love and goodness to us, we desire to respond to God’s invitation by our life and vocation, offering Him love for love. ‘We, for our part, love because He first loved us’ (1 Jn 4:15).” (Con. 4)

1. For our parents, relatives, friends and benefactors, and for all of those who have recommended themselves to our prayers.
2. For the sick, the suffering and the dying.
3. For all people and institutions named in honour of St. Agatha.

FURTHER REFLECTION:

“Like the disciples of Emmaus, allow the Risen One to walk at your side, both as individuals and in community, especially along the path of disappointment and abandonment.” (Address of Pope Francis to General Chapter 2017, 2)
