Holy Fathers Prayer Intentions for July General Intention: Work Security. That everyone may have work in safe and secure conditions. Missionary Intention: Christian Volunteers. That Christian volunteers in mission territories may witness to the love of Christ. Teachings of the Church When St. Peter confessed that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God, Jesus declared to him that this revelation did not come "from flesh and blood", but from "my Father who is in heaven". Faith is a gift of God, a supernatural virtue infused by him. "Before this faith can be exercised, man must have the grace of God to move and assist him; he must have the interior helps of the Holy Spirit, who moves the heart and converts it to God, who opens the eyes of the mind and 'makes it easy for all to accept and believe the truth.'" ~CCC 153 Wisdom of the Saints After you have made a decision that is pleasing to God, the Devil may try to make you have second thoughts. Intensify your prayer time, meditation, and good deeds. For if Satan's temptations merely cause you to increase your efforts to grow in holiness, he'll have an incentive to leave you alone. ~St. Ignatius of Loyola
