Getting Ready to Pray
We could also pray for an increase in our desire to pray “with” and less to pray “for.”
We pray with a great time-shift in the Gospel. Thirty years have past since last Sunday’s Gospel wherein the Magi were visiting the Holy Family. We pray for our personal coming to maturity; with us, it has taken longer than a week. We could also pray for an increase in our desire to pray “with” and less to pray “for.”
Some Thoughts
Jesus heard the ordaining words of his being the “beloved” and we long to hear those words from around us and within us. Who we listen to determines what we hear! This Sunday we ask to hearken, to listen and to believe the message and the Messenger. He walks us prayerfully through his very public life of love.
