PRAY FOR US.
FOSTER FATHER OF THE SON OF GOD,
PRAY FOR US.
Let us know, let us strive to know the Lord ...
He will come to us like the rain, like spring rain that waters the earth.
(Hosea 6:3)
And we have certainly had plenty of rain around here. Something to remember for today is that Our Lord desires love and mercy, not sacrifice, and knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings (Hosea 6:6). United in faith and prayer, may we grow in our love and knowledge of God.
Those who are learned will be as radiant as the sky in all its beauty;
those who instruct the people in goodness will shine like stars for all eternity.
(Morning Prayer, Antiphon, March 18, The Liturgy of the Hours)
SAINT CYRIL OF JERUSALEM,
SAINT EDWARD THE MARTYR,
PRAY FOR US.
