THE GOSPEL
Mark 10:17-30Jesus looking at him, loved him, and said to him,
“… Go sell what you have and give to the poor
then come, follow me.”
Lord, please look upon us and love us.
And grant to us the grace to
give freely to the needy
everything you
have poured
upon
us.
In our giving, Lord
let us receive
a hundred
fold:
you,
Lord of All
THE FIRST READING
Wisdom 7:7-11
I prayed, and prudence was given me;
I pleaded, and the spirit of wisdom came to me.
Everything we treasure and hold dear
we will gladly hand over to you for
just one ounce, one tiny inch,
one nanosecond’s worth
of your precious
wisdom.
Has
there ever
been a time when
we needed it
more?
Please bless our doing
and our being
in the
spirit of
your Wisdom.
So that
all things work together
for those who
love you.
THE SECOND READING
Hebrews 4:12-13
Indeed the word of God is able to discern reflections
and thoughts of the heart.
Who is this Word that cuts through our clutter,
knows when we sit and when we stand,
reads our moods and motives,
bares the secrets of
our hearts?
Lord,
at times
it does
seem that
you know us better
than we know ourselves.
Therefore, we ask,
mend all that needs mending,
and fill our hearts with your love and light.
