ALL OUR BELOVED  MOTHERS.

Sunday Scripture

 

             We can take heart that the Holy Spirit is present in our midst to strengthen and guide us. Before Jesus faced his passion and death, he prayed to the Father. This is the model we  are to follow when faced with difficulties. We turn to the Father in prayer, trusting that we will be given what we need.  He has sent us discern God’s will. strengthen and guide us and  to help us discern God’s will.

             Prayer is the theme of the first reading and of the Gospel. In the first reading , we hear of praying in the Upper Room after the Ascension. In the Gospel, Jesus prays as he glorifies the Father. The second reading tells us that we can rejoice when we are called to suffer in the name of Jesus.
