From Morning Prayer:

 

Sts. Gervase and Protase, brothers, Martyrs

 

 

Jesus said to his disciples:

 

Beware of practicing your piety before men in order to be seen by them; for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.

 

Thus, when you give alms, sound no trumpet before you,...so that your alms may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you.

 

And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites; ...go into your room and shut the door ...and your Father who sees in secret will reward you.

 

And when you fast, do not look dismal, ...anoint your head and wash your face, and your Father who sees in secret will reward you."

 

(very loosely from the Gospel of Mt 6: 1–6, 16–18)

 

I pray that this text finds you being sons and daughters of our Father in heaven.

 

I pray that we may all have had a day of internal piety.

 

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

 

Simplicity, Humility, and Praise  🙏 ✌️
