Word for Thursday August 4th St. John Mary Vianney Beloved Patron of Parish Priests.

“Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah . . . I will put my law within them, and I will write it upon their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.” Jeremiah 31: 31, 33. St. Bernardine of Siena said, “The name of Jesus is indeed the great foundation of the faith that turns people into children of God…the news of Jesus Christ is light of the soul, gate of life, and foundation of eternal salvation.” Let us pray, Lord Jesus, we thank You for making a new covenant with us. May we confess Your Name as Peter did, that ‘You are the Christ the Son of the Living God.” May the priests You have given us do their part in watering this covenant and confession in our lives. Amen. “Let your light shine!!” Be blessed. Larry.
