Day 10 - February 23

Scripture Reading

Colossians 2:16-17 (NLT)

16 So don’t let anyone condemn you for what you eat or drink, or for not celebrating certain holy days or new moon ceremonies or Sabbaths. 17 For these rules are only shadows of the reality yet to come. And Christ himself is that reality.

Prayer Focus

To trust in the grace of Christ alone.

O most adorable Jesus, most meek, altogether lovely, grant to me, a miserable sinner, the grace of your favor, and teach me, by your shining example, not to be afraid of the threats and insults of the wicked, and not to be distressed at being unjustly accused; but rather to pray for the forgiveness of those who have wronged me, and to submit myself in all humility to you, and to my superiors; that so the gifts of your love may be more abundantly shed forth upon me, and I may have grace to praise you more earnestly for those already received.

~ A Prayer of Thomas à Kempis
