Matthew 10:16-23
Jesus said to his Apostles: "Behold, I am sending you like sheep in the midst of wolves; so be shrewd as serpents and simple as doves. But beware of men, for they will hand you over to courts and scourge you in their synagogues, and you will be led before governors and kings for my sake as a witness before them and the pagans. When they hand you over, do not worry about how you are to speak or what you are to say. You will be given at that moment what you are to say. For it will not be you who speak but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you. Brother will hand over brother to death, and the father his child; children will rise up against parents and have them put to death. You will be hated by all because of my name, but whoever endures to the end will be saved. When they persecute you in one town, flee to another. Amen, I say to you, you will not finish the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes."
Dawg's thought:
Today's prayer intention is for those who endure persecution for their faith, that they may be strengthened through Our Lord's passion, death and resurrection.
God is with us. Do not fear.
Fear would want us to stay our place of comfort. Fear would make us worried to speak the truth. Fear will make us think that we will be left alone in our time of need.
Do not fear, brothers and sisters, for God is with us. Let us remember that through Christ, we are free to love and serve Him Who endure the cross and rose from the dead. Take care and God Bless.
