Thursday (October 2) Their Angels Behold the Father in Heaven Scripture: Matthew 18:1-5, 10 Reflect: John Paton was a missionary in the New Hebrides Islands. One night hostile natives surrounded the mission station, intent on burning out the Patons and killing them. Paton and his wife prayed during that terror-filled night that God would deliver them. When daylight came they were amazed to see their attackers leave. A year later, the chief of the tribe was converted to Christ. Remembering what had happened, Paton asked the chief what had kept him from burning down the house and killing them. The chief replied in surprise, Who were all those men with you there? Paton knew no men were present--but the chief said he was afraid to attack because he had seen hundreds of big men in shining garments with drawn swords circling the mission station. Pray: Lord Jesus, you are our refuge and strength. May I always know your guiding hand and the help of your angels in protecting me from all that is evil. Give me strength of will and courage to refuse what is evil and to choose what is good. ----- want to be a missionary brother or priest? contact us: SVD-PHN Vocation Director Divine Word Seminary, Urdaneta City, Pangasinan svdphnvocation@gmail / 0920-5931-540 / (075) 568-4186
