June 28: St. Irenaeus

 
“As long as anyone has the means of doing good to his neighbors, and does not do so, he shall be reckoned a stranger to the love of the lord.” ~St. Irenaeus
 
Lord God, you strengthened the true faith and established the peace of the Church by the ministry and writings of Saint Irenaeus. Through his prayer renew our faith and charity, so that we may always work for unity and peace. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen
 
St. Irenaeus, pray for us.
