THE COUPLE THAT PRAYS TOGETHER STAYS TOGETHER.

Christian Trust
Jesus said to his disciples: “This poor widow has put more in than all who have contributed to the treasury”. Today we judge the importance of things by how much they cost. And we also judge the importance of people by how wealthy they are.
THE COUPLE THAT PRAYS TOGETHER STAYS TOGETHER.

25th Sunday of the Year
Lord of the Oppressed
Jesus said to his disciples: “You cannot be the slave both of God and of money”. Thank God all of us are much better off today than we were in past generations, in spite of the recession, and even better off than we ever expected to be. This brings with it a sense of security and lessens people’s anxiety about the future. But it also can bring with it a sense of self-sufficiency in which we think that we are in need of no one, not even God. We become selfish, and the more we have the more we want. The challenge of the Gospel today is to be thankful for all we have and to learn to share it with those who are in need. When we become selfish with our money we also become selfish with our time and this has a serious effect on our marriage and family relationships and the quality of our lives together becomes less loving. We also refuse to give time to building up our parish community because we are too busy or too important.
Fr. Johnny Doherty, C.Ss.R.
Morning Prayer, when together
Father, guide us as you guide creation
according to your law of love.
May we love one another and come to perfection
in the eternal life prepared for us.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
During the day, when apart
Lord, may the gift of our love for one another
which we offer to show our belief in you be pleasing to you.
May our love grow in gentleness and tenderness
and bring us to our eternal reward with you.
We ask this through Christ Our Lord.
Evening/Night Prayer together
Lord, help us with your kindness. Make us strong in your love.
May we put into action all that we have promised
so that our lives may be filled with your peace.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
