Walk On Water (WOW) quote for today

 

"

Sing the praises of the Lord, you His faithful people; praise His Holy name. For His anger lasts only a moment, but His favor lasts a lifetime; weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning."
- - Psalm 30:4-5

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:  

Lord GOD, you never cease to give new saints to your Church as pattern for holy living.  Help us to imitate Saint Alphonsus in his zeal for souls, that we may share his reward in heaven.

Through our Lord JESUS CHRIST, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the holy spirit, ONE GOD for ever and ever.

Amen.
