On Today’s Gospel

Posted: December 5, 2013 by CatholicJules in Personal Thoughts & Reflections

Today Lord I pray for the conversion of sinners.

Barren still are we who lead self sufficient lives for without You, our lives remain unfulfilled. Some grope in darkness in search of peace of mind, while others search relentlessly for happiness. Liberate us Lord from the snares of evil. Open our eyes Lord have pity on us. In Your mercy Lord Heal our afflictions.

We cry out in faith to You our Lord and Saviour. You are our light, our salvation. Grant our contrite hearts Your peace and love. Let us lead fruitful loving lives as we strengthen one another by our faith in You. Let us bring Glory to the Father, to the Son and to the Holy Spirit. Amen

FIRST READING
Isaiah 29:17–24

GOSPEL
Matthew 9:27–31

As Jesus passed by, two blind men followed him, crying out, “Son of David, have pity on us!” When he entered the house, the blind men approached him and Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I can do this?” “Yes, Lord,” they said to him. Then he touched their eyes and said, “Let it be done for you according to your faith.” And their eyes were opened. Jesus warned them sternly, “See that no one knows about this.” But they went out and spread word of him through all that land.
