LD Holiness From page 1 About the importance of prayer on the path to holi- ness, the pope said that though “the Lord speaks to us in a variety of ways, at work, through others and at every moment… we simply cannot do without the silence of prolonged prayer.” “Naturally, this attitude of listening entails obedi- ence to the Gospel as the ultimate standard, but also to the Magisterium that guards it,” he stated, “as we seek to find in the treasury of the Church whatever is most fruitful for the ‘today’ of salvation.” Cardinal Daniel DiNardo, president of the United States bishops’ conference, praised the exhortation in a statement released Monday, saying: “In this exhorta- tion, Pope Francis is very clear -- he is doing his duty as the Vicar of Christ, by strongly urging each and every Christian to freely, and without any qualifica- tions, acknowledge and be open to what God wants them to be -- that is ‘to be holy, as He is holy’ (1 Pet 1:15). The mission entrust- ed to each of us in the waters of baptism was sim- ple – by God’s grace and power, we are called to become saints.” Sábado/Saturday Pascagoula: Sacred Heart Parish, 6 p.m. Domingo/Sunday Laurel: Immaculate Conception Parish, 4 p.m. Hattiesburg: Sacred Heart Parish, 1:30 p.m. Picayune: St. Charles Borromeo Parish, 11:30 a.m. Gulfport: St. John the Evangelist Parish, 2 p.m. Ocean Springs: St. Alphonsus Parish, 2 p.m. Lunes/Monday Biloxi: Our Lady of Fatima Parish, 6 p.m. Las Misas Celebradas en Español Masses Celebrated in Spanish Pray for vocations to the priesthood and religious life in the Diocese of Biloxi by visiting www.invisiblemonastery.com
