Apostles
for Today is a monthly leaflet sent to all members of the
Union of the Catholic Apostolate for prayer and reflection.
These are prepared each month by different Union members from
all over the world. The originals are then translated into
several of the major languages: Italian, English, German,
French, Spanish, Polish, and Portuguese. The styles vary but
each contains similar material. The off-repeated reference
in them to OOCC stands for Opere Complete or the Complete
Works of St. Vincent Pallotti.
The
first leaflets contained reflections on St. Vincent’s Compendium,
a summary of his “Rule” and were written to reflect its essential
Gospel roots. With the life of Jesus as his foundation he
chose to write this summary in 33 points representing the
33 years of Christ’s life.
