Scripture, Reflection and Prayer for Friday, December 10, 2010

[Jesus] said to Simon, "Put out into deep water and let down your nets for a catch."
- Luke 5:4

Reflection: The bark of Peter laughs at the winds and the waves. She has the Saints as her passengers, the Cross as her mast, the Gospel teachings as her sails, the Angels as her rowers, and God as her pilot.
- St. John Chrysostom


Prayer: Heavenly Father, teach me to trust Your Church as the Bark of Salvation in this world. Grant that I may work and pray to remain afloat with her amid the storms of life.
