Spiritual Reflection

Lord, you gave the human tongue power to give voice to our real thoughts and feelings. The crowds spoke words of praise and awe. The Pharisees spoke words of criticism and judgment. May our voice be raised in praise, always. And in the spirit of the second part of the Gospel, we pray for vocations to religious life and the priesthood. We pray too for the growth in holiness of all our sisters, brothers, and priests. May they continue to help us find our home in your heart. Amen.
