Saturday of the Twenty-eighth Week in Ordinary Time
Here we are, Saturday, another great day for MIZZOU football (hopefully) and another great Saturday to honor Our Lady! Jesus tells his disciples today, “When they take you before synagogues and before rulers and authorities, do not worry about how or what your defense will be or about what you are to say. For the Holy Spirit will teach you at that moment what you should say.”
It’s no secret that I get nervous writing these reflections. I wonder, “are people understanding where I am coming from? I hope this sounds ok.” I am reminded of what the great St. Maximilian Kolbe said, “Jesus is our love. Mary is our hope; you can do all things through her.” If we ask Our Lady for help, she will come to our aid. The Holy Spirit will give us the grace through Mary to overcome anything that comes our way. After all, these are His words not our own.
