Grace in the waiting - Morning Prayer for July 11, 2024

Oh, what a heritage we have as followers of Jesus. I love when we get to “feast days” in the church calendar because I get to learn a little bit more about a hero of our faith. When I first started praying the Daily Office, I hadn’t heard of most of the “Saints” that showed up on the calendar. So, before I would begin, I would look them up and read their stories. And wow. Such amazing, sacrificial lives of love and devotion to Jesus. You and I are part of that line. These are our family stories. May we always tell them—one generation to another! Make sure to read about one of our brothers today: St. Benedict. Get an ad-free feed of the podcast with a monthly contribution of any amount!
