Daily Retreat 10/28/06

2006 Oct 28 Sat: Simon and Jude, aps F
Eph 2: 19-22/ Ps 18(19): 2-3. 4-5/ Lk 6: 12-16

From today’s readings:
  “You are no longer strangers and sojourners, but you are fellow citizens with the holy ones and members of the household of God, built upon the foundation of the Apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the capstone....  Their message goes out through all the earth....  ”


St. Peter’s Successor on the Apostles

Pope Benedict XVI recently completed an intermittent series of audiences focusing on the Lord’s Apostles.
