Therefore we ourselves boast about you in the churches of God for your steadfastness and faith in all your persecutions and in the afflictions that you are enduring. (2 Thessalonians 1:4)

Let us pray: Our Lord in Heaven, father of virtues and miracles, grant me the strength in spirit and help me endure harassment and maltreatment from others. Just like the apostles of Christ who kept their faith intact and patiently withstood the persecution of people for the sake of Jesus and his gospel, help me Lord to go through whatever sufferings I have right now. Let me stood fast in your grace and unwavering faith. Amen.
