Like the Apostles before the Jewish religious leaders after the resurrection, Lord, I pray for the grace to boldly witness my faith in you through the Holy Spirit. Like them, let me obey you rather than fear men, what they may do to me or think about me. I cannot deny the truth: you have saved me and I belong to you both in life and in death. You are True God and True Man. My witness may not make a difference in the other's life, but it will make a difference in mine, a difference that has eternal consequences. For you said, that if we acknowledge you before others, you will acknowledge us before your Father. But if we did not, out of fear, you will not acknowledge us before your Father.
