Sunday

Brothers and sisters,
You have forgotten the exhortation addressed to you as children:
“My son, do not disdain the discipline of the Lord
or lose heart when reproved by him;
for whom the Lord loves, he disciplines;
he scourges every son he acknowledges.”
Endure your trials as “discipline”;
God treats you as sons.
For what “son” is there whom his father does not discipline?
At the time,
all discipline seems a cause not for joy but for pain,
yet later it brings the peaceful fruit of righteousness
to those who are trained by it.

So strengthen your drooping hands and your weak knees.
Make straight paths for your feet,
that what is lame may not be disjointed but healed.

- Hebrews 12:5-7, 11-13

The Novena of Thanksgiving concluded yesterday! Thank you for praying with us, and please do continue to pray for Thomas and Natalie, for their caregivers, and for all those who are injured similarly but have no one to pray for them. Blessed Sunday to you all!
