Renewed by the One Bread

Blessed are those who suffer persecution for the sake of justice;

the kingdom of heaven is theirs. - Matthew 5:10

 

Today’s Liturgy:  Prayer after Communion

Renewed by the one Bread

as we commemorate the holy Martyrs,

we humbly beseech you, O Lord,

that abiding as one in Your love,

we may merit by endurance an eternal prize.

Through Christ our Lord.

"In the midst of these torments, which usually terrify others, I am, by the grace of God, full of joy and gladness, because I am not alone - Christ is with me.  Our Master bears the whole weight of the cross, leaving me only the tiniest, last bit." ~ St Paul Le-Bao-Tinh, Martyr, 1843
