THE
GOSPEL
Matthew 13:24-43
The kingdom of heaven may be likened to a man
who sowed good seed in his field.
|
Which
one is a weed
and which is a flower?
Who is a sinner and who is a saint?
Are we each?
Fond
Father
you wait for us
in patience and kindness
as we,
with your help,
work with our weeds.
Thank you for your tolerance.
Make us patient
with others.
THE
FIRST
READING
Wisdom 12:13, 16-19
For though you are the master of might, you judge with clemency.
|
Kind God,
You teach by Jesus’ example
that justice is kind,
that power
can
be
gentle.
Let us learn from you.
THE
SECOND
READING
Romans 8:26-27
For we do not know how to pray as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes with inexpressible groanings.
|
Holy Spirit,
within us dwelling,
be our
aid.
Take our paltry prayers.
gentle them, weave them into yours.
When the Father searches our hearts
let him find your infinite acts of love
intertwined with our
small ones.
Amen
