Our Defender

November 26, 2014 9:25 am

“Remember, you are not to prepare your defense beforehand, for I myself shall give you a wisdom in speaking that all your adversaries will be powerless to resist or refute.” (Lk 21: 14-15)

Our Lord defends us and supports us with His wisdom all the time, especially when we are sent to be His witnesses and to give testimony. The same happens when we are our own persecutors in the Sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation—He comes as a Defender and Comforter, not as a judge or persecutor. When we are defenders like He Himself, we can bring new hope and new opportunities to our brothers and sisters.

“The Lord speaks of peace to his people and his holy ones and to those who turn to him.” (Entrance Antiphon)
