Prayer Petitions For February 7, 2020

Let us pray to Christ, the source of hope for all who know his name:
Lord, have mercy.

Christ, our frail humanity is prone to fall,
— strengthen us through your help.
Lord, have mercy.

Left to itself, our nature is inclined to sin,
— let your love always restore it to grace.
Lord, have mercy.

Lord, sin offends you, repentance pleases you,
— do not punish us in your wrath even when we have sinned.
Lord, have mercy.

You forgave the penitent woman, and placed the wandering sheep on your shoulders,
— do not deprive us of your mercy.
Lord, have mercy.

By your death on the cross you opened the gates of heaven,
— admit into your kingdom all who hoped in you.
Lord, have mercy.

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.
