St. Denis and Companions (d. 258?) This martyr and patron of France is traditionally held to have been the first bishop of Paris. His popularity is due to a series of legends, especially those connecting him with the great abbey church of St. Denis in Paris. He was for a time confused with the writer now called Pseudo-Dionysius.

After beginning with the Spirit, are you now ending with the flesh? Did you experience so many things in vain?-if indeed it was in vain. ~Galatians 3:1-5 "And I tell you, ask and you will receive; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives; and the one who seeks, finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. ~Luke 11:5-13 Scriptures: http://www.nccbuscc.org/nab/ .=: M E D I T A T I O N F O R T H E D A Y :=. Are we people of the flesh, or of the spirit? How quickly we can change when we lose focus. It is important that we stay close to God. It is important that we are persistent and that we pray. God will not let us down. .=: P R A Y E R F O R T H E D A Y :=. I pray that I may live as a person of the spirit, not of the flesh.
