Creator of all things,true source of light and wisdom, origin of allbeing, graciously let a ray of your lightpenetrate the darkness of my understanding.

Take from me the double darkness

in which I have been born,an obscurity of sin and ignorance.

Give me a keen understanding, a retentivememory, and the ability to grasp thingscorrectly and fundamentally.

Grant me the talent of being exact in myexplanations and the ability to express myselfwith thoroughness and charm.

Point out the beginning, direct the progress,and help in the completion.

I ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

St. Thomas Aquinas

The old woman in this passage did notstop until she was given justice. Are we aspersistent in our efforts to become closer

to God? Maybe the more importantquestion is do we want to be close toGod? Today, ask for a burning desire forGod. Ask the Spirit to clear your heart ofworldly desires and concerns so that you

may focus on God today.

Love is patient,

love is kind.It does not envy,

it does not boast,

it is not proud.It is not rude,

it is not self-seeking,

it is not easily angered,it keeps no record of wrongs.

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the

It always protects,

always trusts,

always hopes,always perseveres.

Love never fails ...
