Acts 20:28-38; Psalm 67; John 17:11-19
🔥🔥🔥🗣📢
Today’s first reading continues St Paul’s emotional farewell to the Ephesians. He encouraged the elders to protect the faith of the flock in their watch. Today is Children’s day, parents and guardians have the duty to care and protect the spiritual life of their children. Like Paul they should not hesitate to commend them to God. Jesus illustrated this further in the gospel when he prayed for the faithfulness and unity of his followers. Lord hear the prayers we make for our children, make them good ambassadors of faith and morals. 
Acts of consecration to the Holy Spirit

 On my knees  before the great multitude of heavenly witnesses I offer myself, soul and body to You, Eternal Spirit of God. I adore the brightness of Your purity, the unerring keenness of Your justice, and the might of Your love. You are the Strength and Light of my soul. In You I live and move and am. I desire never to grieve You by unfaithfulness to grace and I pray with all my heart to be kept from the smallest sin against You. Mercifully guard my every thought and grant that I may always watch for Your light, and listen to Your voice, and follow Your gracious inspirations. I cling to You and give myself to You and ask You, by Your compassion to watch over me in my weakness. Holding the pierced Feet of Jesus and looking at His Five Wounds, and trusting in His Precious Blood and adoring His opened Side and stricken Heart, I implore You, Adorable Spirit, Helper of my infirmity, to keep me in Your grace that I may never sin against You. Give me grace O Holy Spirit, Spirit of the Father and the Son to say to You always and everywhere, “Speak Lord for Your servant hears.” Amen.
