“They shall all be taught by God.”

Provident Father,

We thank you for giving us Jesus Christ, the eternal Bread. You are indeed the Loving Father who provides and cares. Please forgive us that sometimes we are so impertinent and ungrateful like some of the disciples. Sometimes we forgot how to appreciate or say thank for all the blessings you have given to us every day. Have mercy on us. We ask this through Jesus Christ, in the Holy Spirit.

Amen.      

Fr. Edgar Benedi-an, OSM
