Saturday, May 25, 2013: Seventh Week in Ordinary Time ![]() First Scripture Reading: Sirach 17: 1-15 Gospel Reading: Mark 10: 13-16 View Daily ScriptureIn light of today's Scripture readings, Fr. Bob's Prayer is:Creator God, we are grateful for the way You created
us, how you made us of the earth. Help us to be
comfortable in our earthly humanity, as Jesus was
comfortable in our humanity. Sometimes we follow
spiritualities which diminish, rather than embrace,
our humanity. With Your probing Spirit, help us
explore the wonderful and vast universe of our world
and of ourselves. There is so much to explore within
and beyond. Clarify our vision so that we see what
You see. Give us the innocence of children, whom Jesus
so cherished. We become so cynical and mistrusting as
adults. Empower us to embrace our inner child, who so
reflects Your image deep within. Do you weep for our
lost innocence, Jesus? Only the child in us can truly
follow and know You. Isn't that why St. Therese, the
Little Flower, is so special to you and teaches us
Your deepest wisdom in her 'little way' of spiritual
childhood. Save us from being overly sophisticated
or hardened of heart that we miss Your truth and lose
Your kingdom. Make us comfortable in our earthly
humanity, Lord, as it images You!
