WEDNESDAY - 09 / 10 / 2013
Wednesday of the Twenty-seventh Week in Ordinary Time
 GOSPLE Lk 11:1-4

Jesus was praying in a certain place, and when He had finished, one of His disciples said to Him, “Lord, teach us to pray just as John taught his disciples.”
He said to them, “When you pray, say:

Father, hallowed be Your name, Your Kingdom come. Give us each day our daily bread and forgive us our sins for we ourselves forgive everyone in debt to us, and do not subject us to the
final test.”

THE GOSPLE OF THE LORD,
PRAISE TO YOU LORD JESUS CHRIST!

REFLECTION :

In In today's Gosple, Jesus teaches us to address God as "our Father" and to confidently ask Him for the things we need to live as His sons and daughters. We can approach God our Father with confidence and boldness because Jesus Christ has opened the way to heaven for us through His death and resurrection.

When we ask God for help, He responds with grace and mercy. He is kind and forgiving towards us and He expects us to treat our neighbors the same way and forgive those who wronged us as we ask Him in the OUR FATHER PRAYER to forgive us our wrong doings

We can pray with expectant faith because our heavenly Father truly loves each one of us and and He treats us as His beloved children. He delights to give us what is good. His love and grace transforms us and makes us like Himself. Through His grace and power we can love and serve one another as Jesus taught – with grace, mercy, and loving-kindness.

God's grace frees us from every form of anger, spite, resentment, envy, and hatred. Are we ready to forgive others as Jesus forgives us?"

PRAYER :
Father in heaven, You have given us a mind to know You, a will to serve You, and a heart to love You. Give us today the grace and strength to embrace Your holy will and fill our hearts with Your love that all our intentions and actions may be pleasing to You. Help us to be kind and forgiving towards our neighbors as you have been towards us.
Holy Mother of God, pray for us,
AMEN!!!!
