For more than 15 years thousands of believers from coast to coast of this great land have joined us fasting twice weekly for the restoration of America and the protection of our military, police and firefighters. We now open up our company prayer time and invite believers to join us daily, cognizant of Heaven’s warning that we cannot allow one day to pass without prayer or evil will have renewed inroads to wreak havoc on our families. Each day we dawn the critical spiritual armor to protect our families and lift up our nation. In 30 minutes we praise, pray in the spirit, pray in repentance, pray for deliverance from evil’s reach & we read the most widely studied scripture passages in the world that day. We end with the biblical meditation of the rosary, prayed to God the Father, as punctuated by the greatest miracle of the 20th century when the heavens were rearranged while 75,000 watched in awe. We do this in 30 minutes that can be listened to on drive time, during the 4th Watch or as we right our priorities at day’s end. Sign up below and we will email you each day with the link to our prayer time. We hope to changes lives, families and the heights of our nation by making it convenient and pleasant to pray in a group each day rather than just talking about the Lord.
After He healed, raised the dead and walked on water, Jesus commanded us – Go and “Do Greater Things.” We want to take Him up on that.
We are impacting history. God bless, and God bless America.
First Reading
2 Corinthians 4:7-15
7But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, to show that the transcendent power belongs to God and not to us. 8We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; 9persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; 10always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies. 11For while we live we are always being given up to death for Jesus’ sake, so that the life of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal flesh. 12So death is at work in us, but life in you. 13Since we have the same spirit of faith as he had who wrote, “I believed, and so I spoke,” we too believe, and so we speak, 14knowing that he who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus and bring us with you into his presence. 15For it is all for your sake, so that as grace extends to more and more people it may increase thanksgiving, to the glory of God.
Responsorial Psalm
Psalms 126:1-6
1When the LORD restored the fortunes of Zion, we were like those who dream. 2Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with shouts of joy; then they said among the nations, “The LORD has done great things for them.” 3The LORD has done great things for us; we are glad. 4Restore our fortunes, O LORD, like the watercourses in the Negeb! 5May those who sow in tears reap with shouts of joy! 6He that goes forth weeping, bearing the seed for sowing, shall come home with shouts of joy, bringing his sheaves with him.
Gospel
Matthew 20:20-28
20Then the mother of the sons of Zebʹedee came up to him, with her sons, and kneeling before him she asked him for something. 21And he said to her, “What do you want?” She said to him, “Command that these two sons of mine may sit, one at your right hand and one at your left, in your kingdom.” 22But Jesus answered, “You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I am to drink?” They said to him, “We are able.” 23He said to them, “You will drink my cup, but to sit at my right hand and at my left is not mine to grant, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared by my Father.” 24And when the ten heard it, they were indignant at the two brothers. 25But Jesus called them to him and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great men exercise authority over them. 26It shall not be so among you; but whoever would be great among you must be your servant,27and whoever would be first among you must be your slave; 28even as the Son of man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
