From Morning Prayer:

 

St. Vitus, Martyr, Patroness of nervous system disorders, and epilepsy

 

 

Jesus said to his disciples:

 

"Again you have heard that it was said to the men of old, 'You shall not swear falsely, but shall perform to the Lord what you have sworn.'

 

But I say to you, Do not swear at all,

 

either by heaven, for it is the throne of God,

 

or by the earth, for it is his footstool,

 

or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.

 

And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black.

 

Let what you say be simply 'Yes' or 'No'; anything more than this comes from the Evil One."

 

(from the Gospel of Mt 5: 33-37)

 

I pray that this text finds you seeing that God's offended by the sin - not the sinner.

 

I pray that we may all have had a day of not swearing.

 

Please pray for all those listed in all the parts of the litany from Monday.

 

Also, I was wrong yesterday.  GOD DOES NOT HATE!  Please forgive my ignorance (Part 1)(Part 2)(Part 3)(Part 4).

 

Humility, Obedience, and Glorifying God  🙏 ✌️
