July 1 – Canada Day

FOCAL POINT:

“Mindful that our own personal sanctification and effective apostolic work flow from a vital union with Him, we too strive to become men of prayer.” (Con. 54)

Deceased:

Fr. Pawel Tudyka, 1921, Gdansk, Poland
Fr. Stanislaw Skierawski, 1945, Gniew, Poland

1. For the Church, our Holy Father and the local ordinary.
2. For the country of Canada, may it be a country of inclusion, welcoming all who journey to our land.
3. For our parents, both living and deceased.

FURTHER REFLECTION:

“The deepest meaning of the evangelical counsels is revealed when they are viewed in relation to the Holy Trinity, the source of holiness.” (Vita Consecrata, 21)
