BE FREE FROM THE SIN OF INCEST
Scriptural Reading: Lev 18:30
All forms of sinfulness make us God's enemies. Sexual immorality has become so common even among believers that the glory of God has departed from many. The worst form of sexual sins is the sin of incest. Incest is a sin that involves having sexual intercourse with one's relation. It is an abomination for a father to have sex with his daughter. Yet, it is happening today. In Zamfara state, a Christian widow was impregnated by her own son. Brothers and sisters of the same parents have equally been involved in the sin of incest.
A young lady had committed the sin of incest by having sexual intercourse with her relations and this attracted a curse on her. She used to take the first position in school before then but she presently can't even read out what is written on a paper. Her life has been beclouded with thick and terrible darkness. If you have opened your doors to Satan and his demons through sin, it is time to close it. Sin empowers the devil to attack your life, health, career, job, business and family.

PRAYER TO ST MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL AGAINST THE FORCES BEHIND COVID - 19.
Holy Michael, the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebukes him, we humbly pray, and do you, O Prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who wander through the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
WE PRAY WITH ST JUDE THE PATRON OF DIFFICULT CASES AGAINST THE SPREAD OF CORONA VIRUS
O most holy apostle, Saint Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus, the Church honoureth and invoketh thee universally, as the patron of hopeless cases and things almost despaired of.
Pray for me, who am so miserable. Make use, I implore thee, of that particular privilege accorded to thee, to bring visible and speedy help where help was almost despaired of.
Come to mine assistance in this great need, that I may receive the consolation and succour of Heaven in all my necessities, tribulations, and sufferings, particularly...
(insert your prayer request here, especially the menace of COVID - 19 Pandemic)
...and that I may praise God with thee and all the elect throughout eternity.
I promise thee, O blessed Jude, to be ever mindful of this great favour, to always honour thee as my special and powerful patron, and to gratefully encourage devotion to thee. Amen.
