Walk On Water (WOW) quote for today 

"O Mary, be to us indeed a Mother; pity the fears and sorrows of your children in our state of long uncertainty and danger; show yourself a Mother to us in the hour of our death."

- - Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton 

 

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

God our Father, when Jesus, your Son, was raised up on the cross, it was your will that Mary, his mother, should stand there and suffer with him in her heart.

Grant that, in union with her, the Church may share in the passion of Christ, and so be brought to the glory of his resurrection.

Grant that we may be enriched by his teaching and encouraged by the example of his unconquerable fortitude.

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.
