                 __________________Job 38:1,4,7_ 

Then 

the Lord

answer-

ed Job, 

“Where were you when I laid the foundtion of the earth?…when the morning star sang together 

& all the heavenly beings shouted for joy?”

          
             * Cyprian,  a “rich, sophis-

ticated and cultivated rhetorician 

in North Africa” who converted to the faith in 246.  By 248 he was elected Bishop of Carthage (Tun-isia) where was martyred by beheading in 258.     *

                               We say 

                “Hallowed be thy Name” 

         not that we want God to be   

     made holy by our prayers, but… 

that his Name may be made holy                   in us, … so that we who have been made holy in bap-
     tism may persevere in what we have begun to be.    *
