Verse of the Day for Saturday, March 29th, 2025

Blessed are you when people hate you,
    when they exclude you and insult you
    and reject your name as evil,
        because of the Son of Man.

My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you?

But I, with shouts of grateful praise,
    will sacrifice to you.
What I have vowed I will make good.
    I will say, ‘Salvation comes from the Lord.’”

Whom have I in heaven but you?
    And earth has nothing I desire besides you.

For sin shall no longer be your master, because you are not under the law, but under grace.

And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words.

My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one.
