An encouraging prayer

Dear Friends,

I wanted to pass along to you a prayer that I found so encouraging, inspiring and helpful in my devotions the other day.  I hope that you find it a blessing.

 

“Lord Jesus Christ, be present in the midst of my parish church and throughout all places where your people assemble in this world.  Be present as well in my home and in the homes of all Christian people.  You did console those disciples of old who faced a pagan world.  And we pray, overcome in us all that is wrongheaded and sinful, that, in Your Name, your church may overcome the darkness by the proclamation and living out of Your resurrection.  Amen.”

 

Be Blessed today, in the Name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
