Walk On Water (WOW) quote for today
“Beg our LORD to grant you perfect love for your neighbor......
If someone else is well spoken of, be more pleased than if it were yourself.....
Forget your self-interests for theirs, however much nature may rebel."
- - Saint Teresa of Avila
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:
Almighty GOD, the martyr Saint Boniface sealed with his blood the faith he preached. Let him pray that we may hold fast to the faith and profess it courageously in our lives.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the HOLY SPIRIT, ONE GOD, for ever and ever.
Amen.
