“On the anniversary of the day on which the Gentiles had
defiled the altar, on that very day it was re-consecrated, with songs, harps, flutes and cymbals.
All the people prostrated themselves and adored and praised Heaven, who had given them
success.” 1 Maccabees 4:52-55. St. Mother Teresa said, “Do something beautiful for God. Do it
with your life. Do it every day. Do it in your own way. But do it.” Let us pray, Heavenly Father,
in many ways we have defiled the goodness You have given us. May we look anew at Your
infinite generosity to have made us in Your image. Renew us from within we pray, for we are
temples of Your Holy Spirit. We will praise You forever. Amen.

“Let your light shine!!”
Matthew 5:16. Be blessed Larry.
