The
Canaanite woman in the Gospel (Matt.
15:21-28) today is a woman of prayer. She puts herself in the hands of God.
She is at God’s disposition and she knows it. But she remains persistent, she
hears God’s voice deep in her heart and because of her faith her daughter is
healed.
Will we
have faith enough today to put ourselves in the hands of God? Will we have
faith enough today to listen to God’s voice in our hearts? Will we have faith
enough today to bring hope to those we love?
Have a
great Wednesday everyone!
Daily
Prayer:
O God,
Give us this day the Love that leads the way.Give us this day the Faith that nothing can dismay.
Give us this day the Hope no disappointments tire.
Give us this day the Passion that will burn like fire.
Let us not sink to be a clod, but make us your fuel, O Flame of God. Amen!
(Adapted from a poem by Amy Carmichael)
A
Runner’s Thoughts: “Whatever you may be missing right now - a person, a place,
a feeling, maybe you are injured and missing running - whatever it is, have
peace and take heart - remember that any goodbye makes room for a hello.” (Kristin Armstrong) In other words run
with faith and hope!
Daily
Blessings: Wednesday
greetings and blessings to all! As I look out my bedroom window it looks like
the sky is clear and we are beginning a day that will be full of sunshine. It
has been about a week since we last had a day full of sunshine. I hope the
weather is good by you and that your Wednesday is starting off well. I hope you
will encounter many blessings as you journey through your day.
In about
20 minutes I will be leaving for my morning journey to Chappaqua for the 8:30
am mass and then on to the office. We have a number of projects in the works at
The Sunday Mass office some I hope that we can move along today. It will be a
busy Wednesday.
My prayer
for all of you today is that God will truly bless your day with many wonderful
encounters of God’s presence, grace and love. That your day will be enlivened
with God’s joy and peace and may God make you a blessing to the people you
encounter today because you are truly God’s blessing! Peace in
Christ’s Passion…Fr. Paul
