One Minute Reflection – 16 September – The Memorial of Sts Cornelius and Cyprian

Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven…Matthew 6:10

REFLECTION – “We must carry out the will of God rather than our own.   This is what we pledge to do in the “Our Father”, which we recite every day.
What a travesty it would be if, after praying that God’s will be done, we should carry out that will halfheartedly and only because we are obliged to do so!…St Cyprian of Carthagewe must carry out the will of god rather than our own - st cyprian of carthage 190-258

PRAYER – Lord God, heavenly Father, You gave Sts Cornelius and Cyprian to Your Church as faithful shepherds and steadfast martyrs.   Strengthen our faith and our courage by their prayers, so that we may strive with all our power, to do Your will at all times, wholeheartedly! Amensts cornelius and cyprian - pray for us
