We remember before our God and Father your work produced by faith, your labor prompted by love,
and your endurance inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.
1 Thessalonians 1:3
Lord, this week we thank you for the way your Church has survived in Romania after decades of severe persecution. We thank you for the many saints who endured torture and death without denouncing you. Please use their legacies to continue growing your church in Romania. Teach us by their example how to love you more and how to endure when you ask us to. Amen.
