Today, we pray for the grace to know You better

Lord Jesus, today we bring to You our lack of trust in You. The fear, the doubt and the torment that we inflict upon ourselves, not knowing even one iota of Your love for us. Lord, may we come to know Your love, even though it can never be completely known. May we never raise our thoughts, words or actions against You. Bless us to become Your true children, who know Your Father’s Heart. Amen.

Today, we pray for those who have been betrayed

Lord Jesus, we bring to You those of us who have faced the deepest stab of all – betrayal by a loved one. Lord, You faced rejection and wounds from Your own. We bring to You our own pain, the ceaseless ache caused by the cut from a friend or relative. God, when people who promised to be around don’t stick by, when spouses cheat, when friends gossip or backstab us, and parents, siblings or children reject us, be our comfort. Forgive them cos they do not know what they are doing. Have mercy on us all. Amen. Collect: Grant...
