Prayer
Lord I come to You
as one in the dark
seeking eternal light.
I come as a simple beggar imploring the grace to
be the person You
created me to be.
I confess my many
moments of unfaithfulness
in Your sight, yet I am ever hoping and trusting in
Your merciful love
and compassion.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen

26th Sunday Ordinary Time Year C
“By this we come to know the love of God: that Christ laid down his life for us; so we ought to lay down our lives for one another" 1 Jn3:16
Reflections by Father Paul Beukes OMI
In our walk with God, Jesus calls us to live with lives of compassion and not just praising the idea of it.
To do this, we need to return to the compassion of God so beautifully mirrored in the teaching and ministry of Jesus.
This compassion is more than an appropriate description, it is a way of life in which one truly embraces the suffering of another with genuine kindness, mercy and unselfish care.
