Forgive me Lord for my arrogance. I know nothing and can do nothing to extend my life or change the tides and weather. Yet I sometimes behave badly as though everything revolves around me. I declare myself Lord of everything and everyone.
So why Lord do You love me still? Why do You seek me out to call me to repentance? Why would you welcome me back into Your fold? Especially after all I have done and all I have failed to do?
Because You O Lord my God are the source of all that is good. All love and goodness comes from You. All peace and joy comes from You. Your mercy are on those who turn to You.
So today Lord I pray for Your mercy on me and for the whole world. Amen

Gospel
Luke 10:13-16
Jesus said to his disciples: ‘Alas for you, Chorazin! Alas for you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. And still, it will not go as hard with Tyre and Sidon at the Judgement as with you. And as for you, Capernaum, did you want to be exalted high as heaven? You shall be thrown down to hell.
‘Anyone who listens to you listens to me; anyone who rejects you rejects me, and those who reject me reject the one who sent me.’
