It is said that St. Clement was consecrated bishop by St. Peter whose successor he become. In order to bring relief to Christians who had been condemned to work in marble quarries, he caused a miracles stream of water to flow from a rock.

  And I looked, and, lo, a lamb stood on the mount with a river of water of life proceeding from under his feet. –Lauds: Third Antiphon.

  The Lord is my light and my salvation: whom shall I fear? If whole armies should stand together against me, my heart shall not fear. The Lord is my Helper and my Redeemer. –Imitation: Book III.

  Ideal: You notice how readily God seems to hear the prayers that are said for others. So often, when we pray it is for some selfish interest of our own. We ought often to pray for others –for the sick, the dying, and those in distress and temptation.

  Today: Life is rather difficult as its best. As long as we are all companions in misery on the way to heaven, why not give each other a “lift” occasionally along the upward climb? It will make the way far less unpleasant for ourselves.

   Slogan: Who gives himself with his gift, feeds three: himself, his hungry neighbor, and Me.
