“In Matthew’s Gospel, Jesus tells the Apostles, “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you” (28:19-20). These words are also addressed to us today. They help us better understand that our vocation is to preserve our roots, to pass on the faith to the young, and to care for the little ones. Think about it: what is our vocation today, at our age? To preserve our roots, to pass on the faith to the young and to care for the little ones. Never forget this.”
Pope Francis
 
 
FIRST WORLD DAY FOR GRANDPARENTS AND THE ELDERLY ~ JULY 25, 2021

 

Memorial of Saints Martha, Mary, and Lazarus


Psalm 84

How lovely is your dwelling place, O Lord, mighty God!

My soul yearns and pines 
    for the courts of the LORD.
My heart and my flesh
    cry out for the living God.

How lovely is your dwelling place, O Lord, mighty God!

Even the sparrow finds a home,
    and the swallow a nest
    in which she puts her young–
Your altars, O LORD of hosts,
    my king and my God!

How lovely is your dwelling place, O Lord, mighty God!

Blessed they who dwell in your house!
    continually they praise you.
Blessed the men whose strength you are!
They go from strength to strength.

How lovely is your dwelling place, O Lord, mighty God!

I had rather one day in your courts
    than a thousand elsewhere;
I had rather lie at the threshold of the house of my God
    than dwell in the tents of the wicked.

How lovely is your dwelling place, O Lord, mighty God!
