“My son, when you come to serve the Lord, prepare yourself for trials.”

                                                                                    Sirach 2: 1

For Reflection: 

This passage from Scripture indicates that as I seek to fulfill God’s will for me, I will encounter trials, and it encourages me to be prepared for them. One way in which we experience spiritual trial is through temptation. What are the temptations which most entice me now? Am I prepared to face them? (See tomorrow’s Grace Line to see why preparation for temptation is so important.)
