GOD’S WORD FOR TODAY: “Their angels behold the Father in heaven”                          Matthew 18:1-5, 10

REFLECTION: Why does Jesus warn his disciples to “not despise the little ones”?

PRAYER:“Lord Jesus, you are our refuge and strength. May I always know your guiding hand and the help of your angels in protecting me from all that is evil. Give me strength of will and courage to refuse what is evil and to choose what is good.”      

Happy birthday to Ms. Jennifer Nombre who is celebrating her birthday today, October 2. More power and God bless!
