OPENING PRAYER
The Opening Prayer of the
Mass for the Third Sunday of the Year reads as follows:
Let us pray
(pleading
that our vision may overcome our weakness)
Almighty
Father,
Your
love exceeds the furthest expression of our human longing,
for
You are greater than the human heart.
Direct
each thought, each effort in our life,
so
that the limits of our faults and weaknesses
may
not obscure the vision of Your glory
or
keep us from the peace You have promised.
REFLECTION QUESTIONS
In making this prayer
tangible for my life during this week, the following reflection questions
emerged:
1. In what ways does our
vision need to overcome our weakness?
2. How does Your love
express itself in our longing for You?
3. What part do my thoughts
and efforts impact on my ability to focus on You? (eg in calm and stressful
situations).
4. What are the faults
and weaknesses which obscure the vision of Your glory?
5. What is the peace that
You have promised?
6. What keeps me from
obtaining Your peace?
May God's word give you
spirit and life
to be able to bring Good
News
to all those whom you have contact throughout this week
