Fortitude

Read John 13:21-38

''Where I am going you cannot follow me now; but you shall follow afterward'' Jn 13:36

Dear Lord Jesus,

You have courageously faced suffering because of your great love for us. Grant us with the same spirit to be courageous heralds of the good news. When we are faced with challenges, grant us the fortitude to see you working in us thru our struggles.
Amen.

Coming home

Read: John 10:31-42

''know that the Father is in me and I in the father'

Dear Lord God, your are our strength and refuge, allow us to come back to you when things go wrong and against what we expected. May we find consolation in knowing you are there in all our battles, guiding us and providing us with the strength we need. Lord God, like Jesus who returned to where He began his mission, may we also come home to your loving arms as we turn away from our wicked ways. Amen.

Dear Lord Jesus,

purify my thoughts and deeds. May I only think and do what is according to your will. Lord, I know that your timing is perfect. Grant me the faith to patiently wait for the answers to my prayers, trusting that you know what's best for me at the right time.

Amen.
