Estaing

Estaing is a city in the department of Aveyron 12. It is famous for its history and beauty. King Philippe-Auguste in Bouvines' life was saved here in this village and He gave them the right to display the royal fleurs-de-lys on its coat of arms. Do we display the royal cross on our coat of arms. Do people around us know that we belong to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. I pray that they do.

Lord, long ago in this area of France a King's life was saved and the people were honored for their act of loyalty. Lord, as we come into lent we know that your life was not spared but given to us as our sacrifice. Lord, I pray that as the people of Aveyron remember your death they will realize that You willingly died so that they might live. Like King Philippe your give us a cross to bare. Let the world see your mark on us. Let them know that our lives are lived out of our gratitude to You our King. Lord, let them see that the King of Kings does live and will live in their hearts as well.
I pray these things in the name of Jesus my sacrifice. Amen
