Sunday in the Twelfth Week of Ordinary Time

We pray through Ordinary Time with a Morning Offering that places our whole day into Jesus’ hands through the Immaculate Heart of Mary. We then reflect on a classic teaching that Christ is anointed by the Holy Spirit to be both king and priest forever, and we close with direct, simple devotions. • opening prayers and doxology that set a focused tone • Morning Offering for sins, loved ones, and the Holy Father’s intentions • teaching from Faustus Luciferanus on Jesus as true king and true priest • why Melchizedek matters for a priesthood that is not inherited • the Holy Spirit as the “oil of gladness” that anoints the one Christ • Scripture support from Isaiah and Peter in Acts on anointing and power • closing collect, entrustment through Mary, and brief devotions If you found this time of prayer and reflection fruitful, and would like more opportunities to grow in your faith, consider joining the Cristeros and purchasing our publications now available on Amazon.com.
