Ephesians 3: 8-11

Although I am less than the least of all God’s people, this grace was given me to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ, and to make plain to everyone the administration of this mystery, which for ages past was kept hidden in God, who created all things. His intent was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms, according to his eternal purpose which he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Lord, we thank You for the Mudges, for their humility and for their willingness to preach to the Gentiles in Peru. Thank You for the grace that you have already given them and that you will continue to bestow upon them as they do a mighty work for you. We pray that You help them with their Spanish lessons so that they may effectively preach Your Word. We pray that Fr. Shaw, Mother Julie, and Lydia Mudge may have clearer understandings of your mysteries so that they may share your manifold wisdom with all Peruvians that You put in their paths. May they always proclaim Your Son, Jesus Christ, and His eternal purpose. Amen.
