They overcome him by the blood of the Lamb

"They conquered him by the blood of the Lamb
and by the word of their testimony;
love for life did not deter them from death."  (Revelation 12: 11)

The Lamb of God has been slain.  I overcome Satan by confessing myself a worshiper of the slain Lamb.  Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world, have mercy on me.  Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world, grant me victory over the attacks of Satan.

What does it profit a man to win the whole world and lose his soul?  My life is nothing without the Lamb.  If I perish, I perish, if I live, I live.

There is an appointed time for everything

"There is an appointed time for everything,
and a time for every affair under the heavens.  ....
 God has made everything appropriate to its time"  (Ecclesiastes 3: 1, 11)

Times and seasons are God's appointment.  Nobody can make it otherwise.

"O Lord God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.  Amen!"

Prosper the work of my hands

"May the favor of the Lord our God be ours.
Prosper the work of our hands!
Prosper the work of our hands!"  (Psalm 90: 17)

Lord God, you are the source of all inspiration and power.  My destiny is in your hands. You have a good plan for my life.  Prosper the work of my hands.  Prosper the work of my hands.

St. Joseph Patron saint of workers, pray for me.

God is a shield to those who take refuge in Him

"Every word of God is tested;
he is a shield to those who take refuge in him." (Proverbs 30 : 5)

My God, I take refuge in you.  Be my shield today against all distress.  Protect me from all fears, worries and doubts.  As I wait for the fulfillment of your promise, deepen my faith and my peace.

"Lead me from the way of deceit;
favor me with your law.

The law of your mouth is more precious to me
than heaps of silver and gold."  (Psalm 119: 29, 72)

Blessed are those who hear the word of God and observe it.

"He replied, “Rather, blessed are those who hear the word of God and observe it.”  (Luke 11: 28)

Your kingdom is here and now, O Lord.  Your kingdom comes in your word.  Help me to welcome your word today.  Help me to believe it.  Help me to practice and share it.

Let your light shine before others

"Just so, your light must shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your heavenly Father."  (Matthew 5:16)

Let your light shine before others.  What is this light?
Patience, love, generosity, cheerfulness, constancy, courage, wisdom, peacefulness.  When people see us day after day, always and everywhere, with these fruits of the Holy Spirit  they will know that the source is supernatural.

People who see our light shining always and everywhere will seek what we have.  This will glorify the Father of lights.  The glory of God is a man fully developed and living life to the full says St. Irenaeus.

Lord God and Father, help us to do everything for the greater glory of your name.

Whatever their troubles, I will answer their cry, and I will always be their Lord.

"I am the Savior of all people, says the Lord.  Whatever their troubles, I will answer their cry, and I will always be their Lord."  (Entrance Antiphon 25th Sunday in Ordinary Time)

What type of troubles can we cry to the Lord? Trouble with health, family, money, job,, property/tools, food or future.  Our :Lord and God promises to always hear and answer.  Thank you Father.

"Consider it all joy, my brothers, when you encounter various trials,
for you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.
And let perseverance be perfect, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing."  (James 1: 2 - 4)
