Day 8: Servant of the Church

Main post image

Intention

That we are given the grace to see the church as more than a human institution but the Body of Christ. 


From his writing...

The Church of God cannot change; what she was that she is.  What our forefathers, such are we; we look like other men but we have that in us which none others have, -the latent element of an indomitable fortitude. This may not be the age of Saints, but all times are the ages of Martyrs.

Novena Prayer

O God our heavenly Father, we offer You heartfelt thanks for the life and holiness of John Henry Newman. In him You give us an inspiring example of priest and teacher, heroic and humble in his labour for the salvation of souls and the pursuit of holiness. Through his intercession we ask You to lead us by the kindly light of the Holy Spirit, and so grant us peace and joy, in the one fold of the Redeemer. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Thank you! 78 people prayed

Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer everyone. Col 4:6
