Wishing you a Grace-filled 2023!
Let us pray for the strength and courage
to withstand the father of lies,
and to watch and wait patiently,
with our lamps lit,
wearing the Armour of God
and standing firm in the Faith.
“Many are the afflictions of the just
but out of them all, will the Lord deliver them.” (Ps 33:20)
“We implore Thee,
O All-Holy, Long-Suffering
Life and Restoration,
Source of Goodness,
look down from Heaven
and visit all those
who ever trust in Thee;
rescue our life, Lord,
from all constraint and affliction
and, in the faith of truth, guide us all.
At the prayers of the
Immaculate Mother of God and Virgin,
Save Thy world
and those in the world
and spare us all,
Thou Who, for us,
became Man without change,
only Lover of mankind.”
St Romanos the Melodios (c 490-c 556)
“Be on your guard,
stand firm in the faith,
be courageous,
be strong.”
1 Corinthians 16:13
