Walk On Water (WOW) quote for today

"For a stalk to grow or a flower to open there must be time that cannot be forced; nine months must go by for the birth of a human child; to write a book or compose music often years must be dedicated to patient research ...To find the mystery there must be patience, interior purification, silence, waiting...."
-Pope John Paul II

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 Prayers

Grant us, Lord, a true knowledge of salvation,

  so that, freed from fear and from the power of our foes,

  we may serve you faithfully all the days of our life.

Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,

  who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,

  one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
