JULY 12 - HOLY SPOUSES - SAINTS LOUIS AND ZELIE MARTIN, Parents of Saint Thérèse of the Child Jesus

Saints Louis and Zelie Martin are an example of how the vocation of marriage is an actual vocation. In our culture, we so often forget that marriage isn’t the default vocation. Marriage, like consecrated life, is something to be called to and discern, every step of the way.... Both Louis and Zelie desired religious life, but found that was not where God was calling them. They both had to listen to God’s voice in choosing one another and they discerned their vocation together.
We ask their prayers and follow their example in how marriage should sanctify both spouses....

God's Overwhelmed Heart, A Tireless Heart --- & --- Fr. Cassian Folsom, O.S.B. --- CF-Lecture On Chastity

1st Reading
on Thursday of the Fourteenth Week in Ordinary Time

Hosea 11:1-4, 8e-9

Thus says the LORD:
When Israel was a child I loved him,
out of Egypt I called my son.
The more I called them,
the farther they went from me,
Sacrificing to the Baals
and burning incense to idols.
Yet it was I who taught Ephraim to walk,
who took them in my arms;
I drew them with human cords,
with bands of love;
I fostered them like one
who raises an infant to his cheeks;
Yet, though I stooped to feed my child,
they did not know that I was their healer.

My heart is overwhelmed,
my pity is stirred.
I will not give vent to my blazing anger,
I will not destroy Ephraim again;
For I am God and not man,
the Holy One present among you;
I will not let the flames consume you.

11. Il-ħniena ta' Alla ma tonqos qatt

[Hos:11:1] "Meta kien tfajjel Iżrael ħabbejtu,

u mill-Eġittu sejjaħt lil ibni.

[Hos:11:2] Imma aktar ma sejjaħtilhom,

aktar tbiegħdu minni;

offrew sagrifiċċji lil Bagħalim,

u baħħru quddiem l-idoli.

[Hos:11:3] Kont jien li  'l Efrajm għallimtu jimxi,

rfajthom fuq dirgħajja,

iżd'huma m'għarfux kemm kont ħadt ħsiebhom!

[Hos:11:4] Bi ħbula ta' bnedmin jien ġbidthom,

b'rabtiet ta' mħabba;

u kont għalihom bħal min jerfa' tarbija ma' ħaddejh,

u lejha mmil nitmagħha.

[Hos:11:8e] Daret għalija qalbi, tqanqlet bil-bosta ħnienti.

[Hos:11:9] Le, ma nħaddimx il-korla mħeġġa tiegħi;

le, ma nerġax inġib fix-xejn 'l Efrajm,

għax Alla jien, u mhux bniedem,

jien f'nofsok il-Qaddis;

jien ma niġix biex neqred.
