Your friends make known, O Lord, the glorious splendor of your kingdom. 20th May 2014

On the following day he left with Barnabas for Derbe.

Today, we pray for persecuted Christians

Lord Jesus, today we bring to You our brothers and sisters who are being tortured for their faith in You. Lord, let Your mercy and healing flow – into the prosecuted and the prosecutors.

Be with us every moment and send Your angels to aid us when we are in emotional, physical or spiritual danger. May we become real children of Your light.

Lord, let your mercy be on us, as we place our trust in you. 18th May 2014

So the Twelve called together the community of the disciples and said, “It is not right for us to neglect the word of God to serve at table. Brothers, select from among you seven reputable men, filled with the Spirit and wisdom, whom we shall appoint to this task, whereas we shall devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the word.” The proposal was acceptable to the whole community, so they chose...
