Walk On Water quote for today
"You are searching feverishly for the Supreme Good, but in truth, He is within you, keeping you stretched out on the naked Cross, breathing strength into you to bear the intolerable torment, and love, that you may painfully love his love. You fear of having lost Him, then, is altogether futile, for He is quite near and clasps you to Himself. Equally futile, since the present is a crucifixion of love."
- Saint Padre Pio
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 time, that he would save us from our enemies and from the hands of all who hates 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, in 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 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 in to the way of peace. Amen.
PRAYER:
Almighty God, our Father, you sent Saint Teresa of Avila to be a witness in the Church to the way of perfection. Sustain us by her spiritual doctrine, and kindle in us the longing for true holiness.
Through our Lord JESUS CHRIST, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the HOLY SPIRIT, ONE GOD, for ever and ever.
Amen.
