2 Samuel, Chapter 10,
Verse 19
When Hadadezer’s vassal kings saw
themselves vanquished by Israel, they made peace with the Israelites and became
their subjects. After this, the Arameans were afraid to give further aid to the Ammonites.
Do
not be afraid of anything that you are going to suffer. Indeed, the devil will
throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and you will face an
ordeal for ten days. Remain faithful until death, and I will give you the crown
of life. (Rv. 2:10)
Let us build up our
gratitude to the Lord for his saving graces.
“Lord Jesus Christ, you
are the strength or the weak and the confidence of those who trust in you. Be
my secure confidence and my abundant strength! Teach me to understand myself
and to believe in effectiveness of your saving grace. Grant me the courage not to
stop trying and teach me the humility to trust in you when I tend to be
discouraged by my weakness.[1]
The Anima Christi
Soul of Christ, be my
sanctification.
Body of Christ, be my salvation.
Blood of Christ, fill all my veins.
Water of Christ’s side, wash out my stains.
Passion of Christ, my comfort be.
O good Jesus, listen to me.
In Thy wounds I fain would hide,
N’er to be parted from Thy side,
Guard me, should the foe assail me.
Call me when my life shall fail me.
Bid me come to Thee above,
With Thy saints to sing Thy love,
World without end. Amen.
Body of Christ, be my salvation.
Blood of Christ, fill all my veins.
Water of Christ’s side, wash out my stains.
Passion of Christ, my comfort be.
O good Jesus, listen to me.
In Thy wounds I fain would hide,
N’er to be parted from Thy side,
Guard me, should the foe assail me.
Call me when my life shall fail me.
Bid me come to Thee above,
With Thy saints to sing Thy love,
World without end. Amen.
