Prayers & Reflections for Today
<><><><><><>
Our Father, Who art in heaven
Hallowed be Thy Name;
Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us;
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
Amen.
<><><><><><>
Glory be to the Father and to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit as it was in the
beginning,
is now and ever shall be, world without end.
Amen.
<><><><><><>
The thought of the world to come
will always make us happy, and yet strict
with ourselves in all our duties. The more
perfect we become, the sooner shall we
behold that for which St. Columba sighed.
<><><><><><>
Let us pray for perseverance in
good works. St. Augustine says, "When the
Saints pray in the words which Christ
taught, they ask for little else than the
gift of perseverance."

Would you die the death of the
just? there is only one way to secure the
fulfilment of your wish. Live the life of
the just. For it is impossible that one who
has been faithful to God in life should make
a bad or an unhappy end.

St. Augustine says: "When the
enemy has been cast out of your hearts,
renounce him, not only in word, but in work;
not only by the sound of the lips, but in
every act of your life."
<><><><><><>
Each year may bring us fresh
changes and trials; let us learn from St.
Fulgentius to receive all that happens as
from the hand of God, and appointed for our
salvation.
<><><><><><>
If we would keep our faith pure,
we must study its holy truths. We cannot
detect falsehood till we know and love the
truth; and to us the truth is not an
abstraction, but a Person, Jesus Christ, God
and Man.
