Saturday, October 26 MEMORIAL OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY Glory is a mystery Glory is a funny word. We all use it; many of us want it. But what is it, really? How much does it cost, and what good does it do to have it? The Hebrew word for glory means “heaviness.” It refers to the importance of a thing: The heavier it is, the more significant or valuable it is, like a gold bar at Ft. Knox. God’s glory denotes God’s overall sovereignty in the world. Could anything be heavier than the authority of a God who can create a world—or destroy one!—at will? Yet God chooses to take that weighty power and use it to transform death into life for the sake of those afflicted by mortality. Pray the Glorious Mysteries of the rosary today and praise the God whose glory brings peace to the world. TODAY’S READINGS: Romans 8:1-11; Luke 13:1-9 (478) “The concern of the flesh is death, but the concern of the spirit is life and peace.”
