OPENING PRAYER SERIES.
OPENING PRAYER
The Opening Prayer of the Mass for the Sixth Sunday of the Year reads as follows:
 |
THE MASS: OPENING PRAYER SERIES ICON. |
Let us pray
(that everything we do will be guided
by God's law of love)
God our Father,
You have promised to remain for ever,
with those who do what is just and
right,
Help us to live in Your presence.
REFLECTION QUESTIONS
In making this prayer tangible for my
life during this week, the following reflection questions emerged:
- What is God's law of love?
- How will you be guided by it during this week?
- What forms will be being 'just and right' take
in your family, community, workplace and parish this week?
- What does living in His presence mean to
you?
- What difference will living in His presence
make to your life this week?
- How does God’s promise that He will
remain for ever with those who do what is just and right impact on my
desire to live in His presence this week?
During the week, we commence the season
of Lent. The Church invites us during this season to examine our lives
and to have a conversion of heart. May our Lenten choice of penance in the
areas of prayer, fasting and alms-giving assist us in this journey of renewal.
May this week's opening prayer be our signpost.
Let us treasure God 's promise of
being with those who are just and right
be guided by His law of love and live
in His presence.
