SERVANT OF GOD / MT MEDIA PREVIOUSLY BEAST OF GOD

Surrendering to the will of the Lord is a profound act of faith and trust, a spiritual journey that leads to a deep sense of unity with His majestic plan. It is a surrender that transcends our human understanding and allows us to let go of our own desires, fears, and doubts, placing everything in the hands of God with complete trust and surrender. When we surrender to the Lord, we open ourselves up to His guidance, wisdom, and divine purpose for our lives. We release the need to control every aspect of our existence and instead embrace the freedom that comes from trusting in His plan for us. In this surrender, we find peace, solace, and a sense of belonging to something greater than ourselves. Trusting in the Lord with unwavering faith allows us to walk through life with confidence, knowing that we are never alone and that His love and grace are always with us. It is a trust that goes beyond our human limitations, a trust that empowers us to face any challenges or uncertainties that come our way. As we surrender to the will of the Lord and trust in His divine plan, we become proud children of God, part of His royal family. We are embraced by His love, protected by His grace, and guided by His wisdom. Our faith in Him becomes a source of strength and inspiration, shaping our identity and purpose in this world. In this surrender and trust, we find true freedom – freedom from anxiety, freedom from doubt, and freedom from the burdens of our own making. We are liberated to live fully in the light of His love, to walk in His ways with confidence and joy, knowing that we are cherished members of His royal family. May we always find the courage to surrender to the Lord, to trust in His will, and to embrace our identity as proud children of God. In this surrender, may we find true freedom and unity with His majestic plan for our lives.

"Know that the friends of God are crowned for every word and work they do for the sake of God, speak for the betterment of souls, and for every hour of tribulation they endure for the sake of God - whether they have converted many or none." St. Brigitta of Sweden

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me a sinner

Friday, June 28th, 2024 Daily Prayer Give me Yourself, O my God, give Yourself to me. Behold, I love You, and if my love is too weak a thing, grant me to love You more strongly. I cannot measure my love to know how much it falls short of being sufficient, but let my soul hasten to Your embrace and never be turned away until it is hidden in the secret shelter of Your presence. This only do I know, that it is not good for me when You are not with me, when You are only outside me. I want You in my very self. All the plenty in the world which is not my God is utter want. Amen. - Saint Augustine of Hippo Matthew 8:1-4 And when he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him: And behold a leper came and adored him, saying: Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. And Jesus stretching forth his hand, touched him, saying: I will, be thou made clean. And forthwith his leprosy was cleansed. And Jesus saith to him: See thou tell no man: but go, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift which Moses commanded for a testimony unto them. A Will Perfectly Resigned St. Francis de Sales "Imagine you behold the glorious and ever-admirable St. Louis setting sail for a foreign land, and the Queen, his wife, embarking with His Majesty. Suppose that someone inquires of this heroic princess: Where are you going, madam? She would undoubtedly answer: I am going wherever the King is going. But do you know where the King is going? She would say: He has told me in general; yet I have no anxiety to know where he is going, but only to go with him. Then, madam, you have no special purpose in this voyage?..." Saint Irenaeus 2nd Century Saint Irenaeus was a second-century bishop who significantly contributed to the development of Catholic doctrine. He is best known for defending Christian orthodoxy and refuting the heresies of Gnosticism. Many of the theological writings of this Church Father are still studied today. Around the early 3rd century, this saintly bishop was martyred for his faith. Saint Irenaeus, Pray for us

Let us pray, brothers: (Do the sign of the cross) IN NOMINE PATRIS ET FILII ET SPIRITUS SANCTI, amen. St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray; and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen. SANCTE Michael Archangele, defende nos in proelio, contra nequitiam et insidias diaboli esto praesidium. Imperet illi Deus, supplices deprecamur: tuque, Princeps militiae caelestis, Satanam aliosque spiritus malignos, qui ad perditionem animarum pervagantur in mundo, divina virtute, in infernum detrude. Amen.

*To Keep a Married Couple United in Love* O God, who in creating the human race willed that man and wife should be one, keep, we pray, in a bond of inseparable love those who are united in the covenant of Marriage, so that, as you make their love fruitful, they may become, by your grace, witnesses to charity itself. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
