REFLECTION – “My God and my Saviour Jesus, what return can I make to You for all the benefits You have conferred on me? I make a vow to You never to fail, on my side, in the grace of martyrdom, if by Your infinite mercy You offer it to me some day.”…St Jean de Brébeuf
PRAYER – Heavenly Father, only in You re we able to stand against our enemies, those within and without. Seeking to follow Your Son, our Saviour, Lord give us strength! Grant we pray, that by the intercession of Your Holy Martyr, St Jean de Brébeuf, we may obtain the courage and be filled with Your Holy Spirit, to go forth in truth, amen.
