May Our Lord Jesus Christ encourage your hearts 

“May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who has loved us and given us everlasting encouragement and good hope through his grace, encourage your hearts and strengthen them in every good deed and word.” (2 THESS 2: 16-17)

Our Lord is always protecting, always encouraging, and always “strengthening us in every good deed and word.” We are His children and He knows how much we need His support and grace. Fortunately for us, “the word of God is living and effective,” and we can expect from Him all the best.

“The word of God is living and effective, able to discern reflections and thoughts of the heart.” (Gospel Acclamation)
