“As the fat is selected from the peace offering, so David was selected from the sons of Israel. He played with lions as with young goats, and with bears as with lambs of the flock. In his youth did he not kill a giant, and take away reproach from the people, when he lifted his hand with a stone in the sling and struck down the boasting of Goliath?” Sirach 47:2-4. St. Ignatius of Loyola said, “Go forth and set the world on fire.”
Let us pray, Loving Father, You endowed David to excel above many. He cooperated with You and worked wonders in Your name for Your people. You have also endowed us by Your choice. Grant that we may imitate David, faithfully using the gifts You have entrusted to us, so that in all things You may receive honor and praise. Amen. “Let your light shine!!” Be blessed. Larry.
