Oh, God, help me to bear fruit for You today. In St. Matthew's Gospel I am reminded that Your Kingdom will be given to those who bear good fruit. Give me the grace today to follow the actions of Jesus to do the good works we have in the corporal and spiritual works of mercy. To be forgiving, to be merciful, to be loving , to be motivated by the actions of Jesus, to touch others as You did in your public life, because You touched others gently with compassion, uniquely to their situation and circumstances. Allow me the same concern for others as You had living among us. I want to count on the help of your grace. Amen. |
