Memorization Challenge:

6 Be strong and courageous, for you are the one who will lead these people to possess all the land I swore to their ancestors I would give them. 7 Be strong and very courageous.

Reading Primer: A Prayer of Dedication

Almighty God,

so draw our hearts to you,

so guide our minds,

so fill our imaginations,

so control our wills,

that we may be wholly yours,

utterly dedicated to you.

Use us as you will,

always to your glory and the welfare of your people;

through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.

- Thomas Aquinas (c. 1225 - 1274)
