PRIESTLY PRAYERThe Gospel reading (John 17) finds Jesus in prayer speaking to His Father. This Priestly Prayer was prayed by Jesus just before He entered Gethsemane and Golgotha. Jesus prayed to the Father for guidance, courage and strength to persevere the suffering that is about to be put on Him.
Jesus tells His Father that He has now completed the work which had been assigned to Him by the Father. Jesus fervently asks the Father to glorify Him and bring Him back to Him. In today’s Gospel, from the Last Supper, He transmitted His mission
to his apostles and to each one of us that prayer is extremely powerful indeed. The prayer does not allow evil to penetrate our being at any time. Prayers should bring forth an inner peace, love, gratitude, and humility into our lives.
MOTHER’S
DAY
Today, we celebrate Mother’s Day. The name “Mother” is
precious because of the memories of tender and loving care. We should remember our Mothers. Our mothers bring us
into the world. Often we thankless to our mothers the duty they do. To the all
moms who raised us, nurtured us, protected us, supported us, instructed us and
stood by us, “Thank you for being our mothers!”
Happy Mother’s Day.
