St Teresa of the Child Jesus
Job 3:1-3, 11-17, 20-23. Let my prayer come before you, Lord – Psalm 87(88):2-8. Luke 9:51-56.
Lord, O turn your ear to my cry
At times in our lives I’m sure we’ve all been there with Job, despairing about our circumstances and feeling perhaps it would have been better that we’d not be born. But the answer to Job’s, and our, plaints is in today’s psalm. We have been granted the ability to put our prayers before the Lord. We can call to him for help by day and cry at night before him, asking always that the Lord turn his ear to our cries. The psalm is a prayer for help in our despondency. We know Jesus is with us in our sufferings and that our prayers will not be in vain.
