July 14, 2020 Tuesday of the 15th Week in Ordinary Time-A ST. KATERI TEKAKWITHA, VIRGIN

Isaiah: 7:1-9

Psalm 48

Matthew 11:20-24

Unless your faith is firm you shall not be firm!  Isaiah 7:9

Then he began to reproach the towns… since they had not repented.  Mt. 11:20

Lord, you were a rock star in Galilee because of all the miracles performed there. You healed the sick, drove out demons and even raised a young girl to life. You gave these people your all yet they didn’t change their ways. Your words of repentance went in one ear and out the other. You gave it you best but they remained hard of heart. Your message is the same today.  You call the world and each of us to a change of heart. You plead with us to turn from corruption, selfishness, pride and violence. Yet we go on our ways. Lord, I too can be stubborn of heart and refuse to listen to you. Look into my heart and help me to see the darkness that is there.  Shine your light on what you desire me to change. Where I have failed to respond to your word, forgive me. With your grace I can become who you created me to be. You’ve done mighty deeds in my life for which I am so grateful. Now perform your great miracle in me and change my heart. I give it to you, Lord. St. Kateri Tekakwitha pray for us.  Amen.
