St. Romuald's Example of Prayer and Penance - Daily Gospel Reflection

Praised Be Jesus Christ!

Today’s Gospel reading is Matthew 6:1-6 &16-18. It is the feast of St. Romuald of Ravenna. St. Romuald was a monk who lived his early life as “dissolute youth”, as a slave to this world. After watching his father kill an enemy in a duel, St. Romuald fled to a monastery to live a life of penance and prayer. St. Romuald is a great example of performing righteous deeds not for recognition, but so that we might grow in relationship with God Himself.

St. Romuald, pray for us!
