Lord, help us to be content with the little faith you give us, knowing that as we need more you will give us more, and when it is time we will have more than enough.
Have mercy on those who cannot trust at all, lest the little chance they may have be taken away.
Lord, help us to feel compassion for those who cannot interpret your parables, to understand that their ears are dull of hearing and they have shut their eyes for fear that they should see with their eyes or hear with their ears, or understand with their hearts;
for it they did, they would have to be converted before they could be healed by you.
Lord, we thank you for the many wonderful things
that our eyes can see and our ears can hear:
– that you created men and women as equal partners;
– that the human family is called to live in harmony;
– that the Church of Jesus Christ is the Church of the poor;
– that all the baptized are fully members of the Church.
We thank you for all the prophets and the holy people who
longed to see what we see, but never saw it,
to hear what we hear, but never heard it..
