Saturday 22nd week of Ordinary Time

Feast of Mother Teresa 

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives: Be kind anyway. If you are successful you will win some false friends and true enemies: Succeed anyway. If you are honest and frank people will try to cheat you: Be honest anyway. What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight: Build anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous of you: Be happy anyway. The good you do today, will often be forgotten by tomorrow: Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough: Give your best anyway. 

- Mother Teresa

Friday 22nd Week of Ordinary Time

Fasting Lk 5:33-39

At weddings there is no fasting only feasting. 

Before every wedding however there is a lot to be done. 

Jesus is the Bridegroom and the Church is the Bride. 

On the Last Day, Jesus will come for His Bride

And there will be endless Feasting at the Heavenly Banquet. 

But until that day,

There is much to be done to prepare for the Heavenly Wedding Banquet. 

And one of the best ways to prepare is by fasting. 

Fasting helps us prepare our souls,

By limiting the desires of the flesh. 

So that our souls hunger for the Lord
