Job 42:1-3, 5-6, 12-17

Psalm 119

Luke 10:17-24

“I give praise to you, Father…for you have revealed them to the childlike.”

 Lk 10:21

Lord, I too give thanks and praise for how you have shown us the face of the Father.  You perfectly revealed how much the Father loves us by everything you said and did when you were among us in the flesh.  And now we are confident that the care and nurturing the Father extends to us, his children, is given to us each and every day.  We are never forgotten.  We are never left to fend alone for ourselves.  From the moment each of us came into the mind of God He has blessed us, cared for us, forgiven us and through your sacrifice has saved us from death.  When you gave thanks to your Father in prayer I am reminded of the power of my prayer.  Lord, through the prayers of our Blessed Mother, we lift up our needs to you and recall the mysteries of our salvation.  I believe in the power of my prayers to change me and to change the world, especially prayers like the Holy Rosary offered in childlike confidence and trust in you.  Amen
