“Communication between England and the Continent was set up yesterday morning
by the Marconi system of wireless telegraphy…..Signor Marconi is here conducting
the trials and is very satisfied with the results.”

Marconi was born in Italy in 1874, and died in 1937.  He had devoted most of his life to working on communications.

Many people devote their lives to working for certain causes or to fulfill a dream.  As Christians we are all called to devote our work to God.  Indeed we carry out God’s work on earth.

St. Teresa of Avila, in Spain once wrote:

“Christ has no body on earth now but ours:
no hands but ours, no feet but ours.

Ours are the eyesthrough which Christ’s
compassion is to look upon the world.

Ours are the feet with which he is to
go about doing good.

Ours are the hands with which he is to bless others now.

Readings:  Exodus 20:1-17; Psalm 18; 1 Corinthians 1:22-25; John 2:13-25.

I give you my eyes – to see as you do.  I give you my tongue – to speak your words.

I give you my mind – that you may think in me.  I give you my spirit – that you may pray in me. 

Above all, I give you my heart that you may love, in me,
your Father and all humankind.

I give you my whole self that you may grow in me, so that it is you, Lord Jesus,

who live and work and pray in me.  Amen.
(Grail Prayer)
