Walk On Water (WOW) quote for today 

"Cheerfulness strengthens the heart and makes us persevere in a good life. Therefore the servant of God ought always to be in good spirits."

- - Saint Philip Neri

 

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

Lord God, you inspired Saint Laurence with so ardent a love

that his life was renowned for the service of your people

and his death for the splendour of his martyrdom.

Help us to love what he loved and to live as he showed us.

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.
