Prayer of the Week
Almighty and Gracious God, our youth cry out to You, and we humbly turn to You in prayer, that we may not sin towards our brothers or sisters. We seek the guidance of Your commandments, harmony with our families and our friends. O Lord, Who loves us all, help us, and guide us to truly give and receive compassion, and deliver us from the evils that may tempt us! Grant us Your inner peace and watch over us, guiding us always with Your Right Hand and protecting us under the shelter of Your Holy Spirit. Enlighten us as we pray to You in the illuminating light of the Holy Gospel. Warm our hearts with Your grace that we may humbly glorify Your Holy Name, the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, now and forever, and unto the ages of ages. Amen!
Deuteronomy
During this quarter, we will continue our study of the Book of Deuteronomy.
Verse of the Week
“For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?”
Romans 8:24
