How easy it is for us Lord to lose faith in times of persecution or injustice. To lose it when we are attacked or when we fall victim to a vicious rumour.
Let us not be discouraged or fall into the trap of despair and sin. For You O Lord have given us a powerful advocate to guide us, to teach us how and when to speak Your truth. Let always be faith filled and faithful. Amen

GOSPEL
Luke 12:8–12
Jesus said to his disciples:
“I tell you, everyone who acknowledges me before others the Son of Man will acknowledge before the angels of God. But whoever denies me before others will be denied before the angels of God.
“Everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but the one who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven. When they take you before synagogues and before rulers and authorities, do not worry about how or what your defense will be or about what you are to say. For the Holy Spirit will teach you at that moment what you should say.”
