PRAY FOR US.

And in the Prayer too we ask God that His will be done in us.

(Rule of Saint Benedict, 7:20)

Dear faithful readers, united in faith and prayer, we set a hand to the plow and do not look to what was left behind (Lk 9:62). No excuses. Fit for the Kingdom of God, we follow Him wherever He goes. No matter what.

The souls of the Saints are rejoicing in heaven, the Saints who followed the footsteps of Christ, and since for the love of Him they shed their blood, they now exult with Christ for ever.

(Entrance Antiphon, Mass)

SAINT WENCESLAUS,

SAINT LAWRENCE RUIZ AND HIS COMPANIONS,

SAINT LIOBA,

PRAY FOR US.
