Hello weekend! Take Five and say that prayer (no, not TGIF, the one below…). Friday, September 20 Memorial of Andrew Kim Tae-gon, priest, martyr, and Paul Chong Ha-sang, martyr and their companions, martyrs Stretch out your arms Being an example of faith to others means extending the branches of your life outward. Extend a branch a little further today and say a silent prayer for someone in your life who is struggling. The martyrs Saints Andrew Kim Tae-gon, Paul Chong Ha-sang, and their companions were part of a church in Korea that began entirely with laypeople. In difficult times of persecution they were buoyed by others in their faith. Do not doubt the power of a lived faith that extends beyond your arms and into others’ hearts. Today’s readings: 1 Timothy 6:2c-12; Luke 8:1-3 (447) “Lay hold of eternal life, to which you were called when you made the noble confession in the presence of many witnesses.” preparetheword
