On the day of 11 October
Today the Roman Martyrology commemorates Saint Alexander Sauli, a bishop of the Clerics Regular of Saint Paul. He was of noble birth and renowned for virtues, learning, and miracles. Pope Pius X placed him in the canon of the saints.

Reading 1: Galatians 3:22-29

This just looks like more of the same from yesterday. No matter what race or culture that we come from, when we are Christians, we are all brothers and sisters in Christ, heirs to Abraham, and children of God. Got it.

I guess the letters are getting easier.

Gospel: Luke 11:27-28

This one is very interesting. On one hand, part of this reading is used in a common catholic prayer to Jesus' mother, Mary. On the other hand, Jesus is emphasizing "that attentiveness to God's word is more important than biological relationship to Jesus.". I got that from the USCCB footnotes page. It seems to tie in well to the first reading, in that, we are all a family, once we decide to follow Christ. One of the reasons Mary is special is because she, as his mother, decided to follow him as well, not just because she gave birth to him. Giving birth to the Lord is a huge thing, don't get me wrong, but she also raised him with God, and accepted him as the Christ once he took on his appointed role. There are a lot of reasons why Catholics consider her the most important of all of the saints.
