Reflection & Prayer

Prayer of the week

Lord , 

We come before You, 

We share our happiness with each other,

And it becomes greater.

We share our troubles with each other,

And they become smaller.

We share one another’s gifts and burdens, 

and their weight becomes possible to bear.

May we never be too mean to give, 

Nor too proud to receive.

Ror in giving and receiving,

We learn to love and be loved;

We encounter the meaning of life,

The mystery of existence 

And discover You.

Amen

How good it would do our relationships, as well as our lives of faith, if we are to be docile, to truly pay attention, to soften up in the name of compassion and the good of others, like Jesus with the Canaanite woman.
