Jesus Christ Our Lord.

Amen.

“Into your hands, O Lord, I commend my spirit.”


Lord,

You taught your martyr Wenceslaus

to prefer the kingdom of heaven

to all that the earth has to offer.
May his prayers free us from our self-seeking
and help us to serve You with all our hearts.

We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son,
who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever. Amen.



Saint of the Day ~ St. Lorenzo Ruiz

Saint Lorenzo Ruiz and Companions


Governors:”If we grant you life, will you renounce your faith?”

Lawrence: “That I will never do, because I am a Christian, and I shall die for God, and for him I will give many thousands of lives if I had them. And so, do with me as you please.”



Prayer

O courageous St. Lorenzo Ruiz, you were an exemplar father, a witness of Christ until the last hours of your earthly life. You did not hesitate to say that even if you have a thousand lives, you will give them all to Jesus. Intercede for us before the throne of the Most High and inspire us, especially the fathers among us, to lead our families in prayer and worship.

Amen.
