Saint Mother Teresa of Calcutta (B)
1910-1997
Feast Day: September 5
Patronage: World Youth Day, the sick and dying, the lonely, the unborn
Born Anjezë Gonxhe Bojaxhiu, Mother Teresa left home at age 18 to join the Sisters of Loreto as a missionary. She took her solemn vows on 14 May 1937, while serving as a teacher at the Loreto convent school in Entally, eastern Calcutta. She began her missionary work with the poor in 1948, joined by a group of young women, and laid the foundations to create a new religious community helping the "poorest of the poor". At the time of her death, Mother Teresa's Missionaries of Charity had over 4,000 sisters, and an associated brotherhood of 300 members, operating 610 missions in 123 countries. Mother Teresa was the recipient of numerous honors including the 1979 Nobel Peace Prize.

Today's the feast day of St. Teresa of Calcutta. Like her, may we strive to do small things with great love!

Saint Teresa of Calcutta, pray for us!

Today the Church celebrates the Memorial of St. Teresa of Calcutta, a modern-day saint who was a powerful witness to seeing Christ in the poorest and most forgotten.
⁣
Mother Teresa was known to do small things with great love. She served the sick, the dying and the marginalized with extraordinary tenderness because she believed that in each person, she was serving Jesus Himself.
⁣
Her example challenges us to look more closely at the people God places in front of us each day and ask: How can I love Christ in this person?
⁣
St. Teresa of Calcutta, pray for us!

Gospel of the Day (Luke 6,1-5)

While Jesus was going through a field of grain on a sabbath, his disciples were picking the heads of grain, rubbing them in their hands, and eating them. Some Pharisees said, "Why are you doing what is unlawful on the sabbath?"

Jesus said to them in reply, "Have you not read what David did when he and those (who were) with him were hungry? (How) he went into the house of God, took the bread of offering, which only the priests could lawfully eat, ate of it, and shared it with his companions." Then he said to them, "The Son of Man is lord of the sabbath."

We invite you to pray with us as we honor St. Rose of Viterbo on her feast day. 🤍

Loving God,
We pray in union with our sister in Christ,
St. Rose of Viterbo, as we entrust You with the needs of the world and our hopes for your Holy Church.
Where there is misinformation, may there be truth.
Where there is injustice, may there be restoration and equity.
Where there is violence, may there be peace.
Like St. Rose and with your grace, help us to be devoted to Truth, Love, Peace and the Gospel with evangelical zeal, no matter how dire our circumstances.
We pray this through Christ our Lord.

St. Rose of Viterbo, pray for us!

Gospel of the Day (Luke 5,33-39)

The scribes and Pharisees said to Jesus, "The disciples of John the Baptist fast often and offer prayers, and the disciples of the Pharisees do the same ; but yours eat and drink." Jesus answered them, "Can you make the wedding guests fast while the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come, and when the bridegroom is taken away from them, then they will fast in those days."

And he also told them a parable. "No one tears a piece from a new cloak to patch an old one. Otherwise, he will tear the new and the piece from it will not match the old cloak. Likewise, no one pours new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the new wine will burst the skins, and it will be spilled, and the skins will be ruined.

Rather, new wine must be poured into fresh wineskins. (And) no one who has been drinking old wine desires new, for he says, 'The old is good.'"
