42. HAPAX Father us pray with a humble heart that we will always be one in you. I ask that we be encouraged by others and seek to encourage other brothers and sister in Christ. May you provide the path of security in the foundation of our Christian community and by the sharing of prayers and encouragement of others we can endure any hardships that come our way. For without you Lord, we are nothing. With you we are everything. Provide for us the grace to overcome our hardships and know that is some way that the trials and tribulations that we suffer in no way compare to how you suffered for our sins. With joy in our hearts we know that by serving you we are being drawn nearer to you and that because of your suffering and dyeing for our sins the veil has been torn in two paving the way to our salvation. Thank you Jesus for the gift of community and for the enlightment given to us by Father Al who so impressed upon us the importance of Christian communities that uphold us by virtue of faith, prayer and encouragement.
