Father, Make our love grow each day as we approach the feast of our salvation. AMEN
Psalm 95 various versus
Come, let us sing joyfully to the LORD;let us acclaim the Rock of our salvation.Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving;let us joyfully sing psalms to him.
Come, let us bow down in worship;let us kneel before the LORD who made us.For he is our God,
Oh, that today you would hear his voice:Harden not your hearts as at Meribah,as in the day of Massah in the desert,Where your fathers tempted me;they tested me though they had seen my works.
If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts. Todays Psalm refrain is haunting, but what does it mean for us? Would we really harden our hearts, and not listen to God? Or is it true that not listening and not acting on what the voice says is what actually happens in the heat and hurry of our everyday lives? God of mercy, help us today to grow in your likeness, that we who sinned in Adam may rise again in Christ. Let your word be a lamp to guide us, that we may live the truth and grow always in your love. Teach us to be faithful in seeking the common good for your sake, that your light may shine on the whole human family by means of your Church. Touch our hearts to seek your friendship more and more, and to make amends for our sins against your wisdom and goodness.
Loving God, We hear your invitation, "Come back to me" and we are filled with such a longing to return to you. Show us the way to return. Lead me this day in good works we do in your name and send your Spirit to guide us and strengthen our faith. We ask only to feel your love in our lives today. Amen
