St. Gabriel's Prayer Diary
 

I urge then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone.                                                                                          (1 Timothy 2:1) For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.                                                                                        (Ephesians 6:12)
