Daily Thoughts: A few random thoughts today as I am a bit fuzzy from 14 and a half hours on the road yesterday...
Mary's Magnificat one of the most beautiful prayers. A reflection of her trust and faith in God. A reflection of her commitment to God's plan for her. Each evening I pray this prayer hoping that as I live life I can have the same trust, faith and commitment in and to God.
Both women in the scriptures today teach us about commitment, trust and faith. Mary and Hannah are models of what it's means to be a friend of God, of what it means to be beloved by God. They teach us true friendship and commitment.
Perhaps as we prepare in these final days before Christmas we might look at our own friendship with God and renew our commitment to proclaim God's greatness in our life!
Daily Prayer: We proclaim today O God, the wonders of your love for us. Help us to proclaim you greatness in all we do and say today. Help us to find your greatness in all we meet today. Help us to recognize the great things that you do for us and the world. May we always keep your name holy. We also continue to pray for families in grief; for little ones whose lives were too short; for teachers, administrators and responders who put others first; for a community that must find a way to live; for all of us who seek a world of lasting peace! For we believe that you will come to our help because you remember you promise of mercy the promise you have made to our mother' and father's and all your children for ever! Amen!
Runner's Thought: Remember the rather than the mind is our natural ally in our quest to find God as we run!
Have a wonderful Saturday everyone. Hopefully you will not be too busy with last minute things. Thanks for all your prayers yesterday it was a long ride but a good one! Blessings today. Peace in Christ' Passion...Fr. Paul
