Saturday of the Second Week of Lent

Saint Katharine Drexel MontageRead

Today we read about St. Katharine Drexel who was dedicated to providing for the needs of African Americans in her community. She also founded Xavier University in New Orleans.

Reflect

St. Katharine Drexel, an heiress of millions, asked the pope for more missionaries, and he told her to become one! So, she left her life of privilege and founded a religious order dedicated to the poor: the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament. Have you considered becoming a missionary to build up the Kingdom of God?

Pray

Today we say this prayer to be disciples and missionaries in everyday life.
