Opening Prayer
God of Love, Spirit of Truth, You inspired Paul the Apostle to speak Your saving message to sophisticated people, using their symbols to enlighten them. Continue to inSpirit our hearts and ears that we can listen to You. Humble us never to be so sophisticated that we will not follow Jesus and live by faith. Lead us on our search for You into the unknowns of our life. May the voice and presence of Your Spirit instill us with the truth that it is “in You that we live and move and have our being.” You, eternal God of Love, are the source of our existence and breathe of our life. In Christ, we thank you!
Today, in 1925, St. Therese was officially canonized by the Church. Give us her absolute trust and confidence in You. Shower us with the blessing to accept the intimacy of Your love, as the Little Flower experienced You.
