A Prayer For One Another

Note:  The slice of daily bread for October 30th appeared on October 31st.  I was on Central Time in San Antonio when I posted it, but my laptop was on Eastern Standard Time so it was too late for the 30th.  The thin slice intended for October 31st appears today, November 1st.  A visitor arrived before I could post it.  So, as an All Saints treat, there are two slices today.

St. Paul's prayer for the Philippians is a good prayer for us to offer for our loved ones:
"And this is my prayer:  that your love may increase ever more and more in knowledge and every kind of perception, to discern what is of value, so that you may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ for the glory and praise of God." (Phil 1: 9-11)  The increase of knowledge and love and discernment of true values is very much in line with our Marist Mission.   May we thus pray for one another and do all that we can to live this prayer ourselves.
Bro. Rene
