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?
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)
Runner’s Thought: “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!
Happy “Hump Day” everyone! Yes, it is
that day again, that middle of the week day that is “two days” from either
weekend. That day when camels walk through offices asking the question “Do you
know what day it is? – Do you know what day it is? May you have the right
answer when the camel walks through your office today. No, office too bad because
a camel walking through an office always puts a smile on my face! Well in any
event, I hope your Wednesday has started off well and has many blessings in
store for you today.
Later this day I will be headed to
Scranton, Pa for the funeral of Fr. Malcolm tomorrow. Please continue to keep
his family and the Scranton Passionist Community in your prayers.
Truly have a great day and may God make you
a blessing to someone today because that is what you are! Peace in Christ’s
Passion…Fr. Paul
