Today's Reading
| |
Twenty-second Sunday in Ordinary Time
My child, conduct your affairs with humility,
and you will be loved more than a giver of gifts.
Humble yourself the more, the greater you are,
and you will find favor with God.
What is too sublime for you, seek not,
into things beyond your strength search not.
The mind of a sage appreciates proverbs,
and an attentive ear is the joy of the wise.
Water quenches a flaming fire,
and alms atone for sins.

The testimonial can just be a simple 1 or 2 sentence statement or if you would like to share more, that would be acceptable as well.This is a wonderful opportunity for you to have a positive and direct affect on prospective families and students considering St. Dominic Savio for high school. Please prayerfully consider this opportunity to be a part of the promotion of the school we all love. D
