FIFTH SUNDAY OF THE YEAR - EFFICACIOUS PRAYER

Very encouraging words found in the "Explanation of Lord's Prayer" to meditate upon: "We cannot, indeed be entirely free from temptations in this world, they are even necessary and useful for our salvation: for without temptation there is no combat, without combat no victory and without victory no crown."
