April 19 — And How Many Of Them Have Something To Do With Love?

Today’s passage:
“Christian dost thou feel them,
How they work within,
Striving, tempting, luring,
Goading into sin?
Christian never tremble,
Never be downcast;
Gird thee for the battle,
Watch and pray and fast.

—Andrew of Crete hymn

Today’s prayer:
“Father, thank You for love, both human and divine,
that gives me the strength to handle temptations.”
