Jesus does not abandon those who hope in him; therefore, let us humbly ask him:
Our Lord and our God, hear us.
Christ our light, brighten your Church with your splendor,
— so that it may be for the nations the great sacrament of your love.
Our Lord and our God, hear us.
Watch over the priests and ministers of your Church,
— so that after they have preached to others, they themselves may remain faithful in your service.
Our Lord and our God, hear us.
Through your blood you gave peace to the world,
— turn away the sin of strife, the scourge of war.
Our Lord and our God, hear us.
O Lord, help married couples with an abundance of your grace,
— so that they may better symbolize the mystery of your Church.
Our Lord and our God, hear us.
In your mercy forgive the sins of all the dead,
— that they may live with your saints.
Our Lord and our God, hear us.

Thursday Gospel Reflection: On Letting Go
One of the Gospels this week narrates how Jesus sends out the Twelve to carry out the ministry He has started. At the same time, Jesus gives them very specific and rather ‘unusual’ instructions — to bring with them only a walking stick, and to shake the dust off their feet in places where they find themselves unwelcome. In this 2018 Post, My Reflection briefly explores what those instructions practically mean to us as Catholics in present day, and how such directives from the Lord can spiritually guide us in our life journey.
