    Thank you for bringing St Moses to our attention. We need to know more about saints from this area of the world and actively ask their intercession as we try to understand and work with folks from that area who are Muslims.

    St. Moses, apostle, hermit and bishop who gave pastoral care to the saracens, pray for all who live in predominantly Muslim countries. May our brotherly love for our Muslim brothers and sisters be a beacon of light whereby they will learn to trust and believe in our good intentnions. Help me to get invovled in works of charity and mercy where I can make a quiet contribution. Bless my work in my family, work and church communities, always reminding myself to be genuinely humble and sincere. Bless all those on bed of pain, rest or are wasting away. Keep us always mindful of their needs. Amen.
