Saturday -- Ezekiel 37:21-28:

God promises to bring the Israelite refugees home. Learn about a current group of refugees in one of the world’s many trouble spots. Imagine the trauma of having to flee one’s homeland. Spend the day praying for this group of refugees.

It is a duty to pray both for him who is in affliction and him who is in relief from it, for him who is in dangers and him who is in prosperity – for him who is in relief and much prosperity, that these may remain unmoved and without vicissitude and may never change; and for him who is in affliction and his many dangers, that he may see some favorable change brought about to him and be transported into a calm of consolation.

- Saint John Chrysostom
