Courage to effect change

Jesus always has a pragmatic, no-nonsense approach to doing good. He knows the laws and customs thoroughly, and while he pays them deference, he does not follow them slavishly if there are necessary tasks to complete. In our prayers today, let us ask God for the courage to change what we can, when we can, the strength to accept what cannot be helped, and the wisdom to know the difference.
