Opening Prayer 9.18
We, today, have a good understanding of what duty is. We know what to do and how to do it. We punctually, for the most part, show up for duty eager and ready to fulfill our tasks. But what happens when we are given a commandment that is opposed to our duty, where faith is more dutiful than duty? God, we pray that we are not paralyzed by such contradictory feelings, that we fulfill our duty that is given in spite of duty's sake, to give up our comfortable mothers and wise fathers, to give up our very lives for the sake of carrying our cross. Amen.
