Walk On Water (WOW) quote for today  

"DEATH is not the greatest lost in LIFE.

The greatest LOSS is what DIES inside us while we LIVE.

-Norman Cousins

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, strength of those who hope in you, by your will Saint John Chrysostom became renowned in the Church for his astounding eloquence and his forbearance in persecution. Grant that we may be enriched by his teaching and encourage by the example of his unconquerable fortitude.

Through our Lord JESUS CHRIST, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the HOLY SPIRIT, ONE GOD for ever and ever.

Amen.
