Word for Saturday December 28. Feast of the Holy Innocents, Martyrs.

“Had not the Lord been with us when men rose up against us, they would have swallowed us alive, when their fury
was inflamed against us. Then would the waters have overwhelmed us; the torrent would have swept over us…Broken was the snare, and we were free. Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.” Psalm 124:2-4, 7-8. St. Thomas More said, “I shall remember how Saint Peter at a blast of wind began to sink because of his lack of faith, and I shall do as he did: call upon Christ and pray to him for help. And then I trust he shall place his holy hand on me and in the stormy seas hold me up from drowning.” Let us pray, Heavenly Father, You have been our home throughout our lives. We have faced many difficulties, but You have never abandoned us. May we always call out to You in times of trouble, and give You thanks every day for our many blessings. Father, we surrender our lives to You. We pray to always walk in your care, and to trust You in everything. Amen. “Let your light shine!!” Be blessed. Larry.
