For God founded it upon the seas and established it upon the rivers.
HEART OF JESUS, SOURCE OF ALL CONSOLATION,
HAVE MERCY ON US.
Saint Paul urges the brothers and sisters in Ephesus and all of us to live in a manner worthy of the call we have received, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another through love (Eph 4:1-2). Saint Benedict echoes this in his chapter on the good zeal that we must foster with fervent love: They should each try to be the first to show respect to the other, supporting with the greatest patience one another's weaknesses of body or behavior (RB 72:3-5).
We are one Body and one Spirit, as we were also called to the one hope of our call; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all (Eph 4:4-6). Amen.
O God, come to my assistance.
Lord, make haste to help me.
SAINT JOHN OF CAPISTRANO,
PRAY FOR US.
