Word for Friday September 16.

“I call upon you, God, for you answer me; turn your ear to me, hear what I say. Show evidence of your faithful love, savior of those who hope in your strength against attack.” Psalm 17:6-7. Thomas Merton said, “I will not fear, for you are ever with me, and you will never leave me to face my perils alone.” Let us pray, Lord Jesus, in celebrating the Martyrs Cornelius and Cyprian You show us that You hear and answer our prayers. It is You who made them overcome the pain of martyrdom that they may confess You till the end. We know that You are present with us as we go through our faith struggles. Amen. “Let your light shine!!” Be blessed. Larry
