Lord I build my house on the foundation of Your Word.
Lord You are my rock!
Lord Your Will be done in my life, my home, office, school, parish, from the start of my day to the end of night.
Lord You are my rock!
Lord I will seek each day to be of service to my brethren for love of You.
Lord You are my rock!
Lord let me bring Your presence to those in need of healing, deliverance, and let me lead them to the joy of the Gospel, my living God.
Lord You are my rock! Amen
Saint Ambrose, pray for us…

Isaiah 26:1-6 ·
Open the gates; let the upright nation come in
That day, this song will be sung in the land of Judah: We have a strong city; to guard us he has set
wall and rampart about us.
Open the gates! Let the upright nation come in, she, the faithful one m whose mind is steadfast, who keeps the peace, because she trusts in you.
Trust in the Lord for ever,
for the Lord is the everlasting Rock; he has brought low those who lived high up in the steep citadel; he brings it down, brings it down to the ground, flings it down in the dust: the feet of the lowly, the footsteps of the poor trample on it.

Matthew 7:21,24-27
The wise man built his house on a rock
Jesus said to his disciples: ‘It is not those who say to me, “Lord, Lord,” who will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the person who does the will of my Father in heaven. Therefore, everyone who listens to these words of mine and acts on them will be like a sensible man who built his house on rock. Rain came down, floods rose, gales blew and hurled themselves against that house, and it did not fall: it was founded on rock. But everyone who listens to these words of mine and does not act on them will be like a stupid man who built his house on sand. Rain came down, floods rose, gales blew and struck that house, and it fell; and what a fall it had!’
