Walk On Water (WOW) quote for today

  

"Go and learn what the scriptures mean when they say, ' Instead of offering sacrifices to me, I want you to be merciful to others'. I didn't come to invite good people to be my followers. I came to invite sinners."

- - Matthew 9:13 

Canticle of Zechariah

Blessed be the LORD,

The GOD of Israel;

He has come to His people and set them free.

 He has raised up for us a mighty Savior,

Born of the house of His servant David.

 Through His Holy Prophet,

He promised of old

That He would save us from our enemies

From the hands of all who hate us.

He promised to show mercy to our Fathers

And to remember His Holy Covenant.

 

This was the oath He swore to our father Abraham:
To set us free from the hands of our enemies,
Free to worship Him without fear, Holy and righteous in His sight All the days of our life.

 

You, My child shall be called
The prophet of the Most High,
For you will go before the Lord to prepare His way,
To give his people knowledge of salvation
By the forgiveness of their sins.

 

In the tender compassion of our Lord
The dawn from on high shall break upon us,
to shine on those who dwell in darkness
And the  shadow of death,
And to guide our feet into the way of peace.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son,
and to the HOLY SPIRIT, as it was in the beginning.
is now, and will be forever.
AMEN.

  
Good morning, GOD is with US!

Morning Prayer:  

 

In your bounty, Lord, give us the Spirit who alone can teach us to think and do what is right, so that we, who without you cannot exist, may live in loving obedience to your will.

We ask this through our LORD JESUS CHRIST, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the HOLY SPIRIT, ONE GOD, FOREVER and ever.  AMEN!
