“May your kindness, O LORD, be upon us; who have put our hope in you.”

(Psalm 33:22) 

Good and gracious God, we praise You and thank You for Your kindness and mercy. We remember Your works in the heroic Saint Ignatius of Antioch, whose feast we celebrate today. Show us how to place our hope in You Lord, as Saint Ignatius did, so that our family might be a little Church. Amen.
