Cool off at The Grotto

Lord God,

Sorry if sometimes we act as if we entitled to ask anything. That we have right to ask this or that. May we imitate the attitude of the leper in the gospel today, though he suffered a lot from that miserable situation. Your will is not just to heal each one of us but to save us from sin and death.
We ask this through our Lord Jesus, your Son, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, One God, forever and ever.

Amen.
