God our Father,

Sorry if sometimes we easily give up or quit coming to you for help. Sometimes we lose our patience and confidence in your loving providence. Sometimes, in our need, we need to wait, or we need to exert so much effort in order to prove to you that we really believe and love you. Like the woman in today's Gospel, give us strength and perseverance in following you, that in the midst of life's difficulties, we may be constantly sustained by that same grace, and finally restored life and health with you. We ask this through our Lord Jesus, your Son, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, One God, forever and ever.

Amen.

Fr. Edgar Benedi-an, OSM
