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 to needy ones,
all things that you
have poured
upon
us.
In our giving, Lord,
let us receive
a hundred-
fold
of 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 give over to you for
just one ounce, one tiny piece,
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 us 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,
always,
you know us better
than we know ourselves.
And so we ask you,
mend all that needs mending,
and fill our hearts with your love and light.
