The Lord our God condescends to serve us as a guide. He knows the way and will pilot us along it till we reach our journey's end in peace. Let us make him our God, and we shall find Him our guide. If we follow His law, we shall not miss the right road of life. Jesus said " Im the way, the life and the truth. No one can come to the Father except through me. May God's face shine upon today and may he give you His peace.Amen!
