St Philip Neri
Ecclesiasticus 36:1, 4-5, 10-17. Show us, O Lord, the light of your kindness – Psalm 78(79):8-9, 11, 13. Mark 10:32-45.
‘Can you drink the cup I must drink?’
Lord, you invite me into a relationship with no strings attached. It can be quite disorienting, at times, for your ways are so different. Like James and John, I too am sometimes drawn to look for the guarantees sought by the ways of this world. Still, I pray for an open heart, ready to keep on trying as the journey proceeds, ever mindful of your unconditional and boundless love.
I am also conscious of the need to be aware of others, knowing that we have enough for all if we can build community rather than each seeking to advance our individual causes without considering others too. So I pray, ‘Show us, O Lord, the light of your kindness.’ Help me to imitate you.
