Monday Week 34 Ordinary Time

Over the last few days I have not been able to raise my heart and mind to God. Words of "prayers" have passed through my mind but I have not felt myself at one with the "Our Father", "Hail Mary" and "Glory Be" that are my eternal childhood prayers.

The "Parable of the Minas" always does unsettle me. God knows that I am always upset by his revealed favouring of the Jews and raise the response "Why not me?" not only on my own behalf but also on behalf of the millions of other "Gentiles" who have always been the majority of the humans created by Him.

I have also faced family turmoil for which I am not totally culpable.

Neither does today's "Book of Daniel" help me to regain the calm peace of a soul that was growing closer to knowing, loving and serving in this world for it takes me into another world that is totally a repeat of this one but on a grander scale.

Jesus, our Incarnate God, IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT, lived a sinless hidden life for 30 years in this world. For three years, he taught us everything that we need to know by word, signs and example. Help me Lord to overcome all that keeps me  from accepting the spiritual support that is your free gift to souls that are true and offer, as did the widow in the Temple, the whole of their life, as unqualified trust in God.

Dear Lord may my prayers join those of Angels, Mary, Apostles and all Saints in seeking pardon for my sins, the sins of the whole world and especially for the Holy Souls who have to rely on our charity to obtain their share of your Divine Mercy.
