Walk On Water (WOW) quote for today
"The life of a Christian is nothing but a PERPETUAL STRUGGLE agains self: there is no flowering of the soul to the beauty of its perfection except at the price of pain."
- - Saint Padre Pio of Petrecilna
Canticle of Zechariah
Blessed be the Lord, the GOD of Israel, for he has visited his people, he has set them free, and he has established for us a saving power in the House of his servant David, just as he proclaimed, by the mouth of his holy prophets from ancient times, that he would save us from our enemies and from the hands of all those who hate us, and show faithful love to our ancestors, and so keep in mind his holy covenant.
This was the oath he swore to our father Abraham, that he would grant us, free from fear, to be delivered from the hands of our enemies, to serve him in holiness and uprightness in his presence, all our days. And you little child, shall be called Prophet of the Most High, for you will go before the Lord to prepare a way for him, to give his people knowledge of salvation through the forgiveness of their sins, because of the faithful love of our God in which the rising Sun has come from on high to visit us, to give light to those who live in darkness and the shadow dark as death, and to guide our feet into the way of peace.
Prayer:
Increase in us, Lord, your gift of faith, so that the praise we offer you may ever yield its fruit from heaven.
Through our Lord JESUS CHRIST, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and HOLY SPIRIT, ONE GOD forever and ever.
AMEN.
