From Morning Prayer:

 

Labor Day (USA)

Saint Agricolus, Bishop, Patron of Avignon

 

 

Jesus came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up; and He went to the synagogue, as was His custom, on the sabbath day. And He stood up to read; and there was given to Him the book of the prophet Isaiah. He opened the book and found the place where it was written,

 

"The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor.

 

He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed, to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord."

 

And He closed the book, and gave it back to the attendant, and sat down; and the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on Him. And He began to say to them,

 

"Today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing." ...

 

(from the Gospel of Lk. 4: 16-30)

 

I pray that this text finds you in His purification.

 

I pray that we may all have had a day of living in Him, even in our own place.

 

Please pray for all those listed in all the parts of the litany that follows (Part 1)(Part 2)(Part 3)(Part 4).

 

Humility, Obedience, and Glorifying God  🙏 ✌️
