Be With Us in the Dark:

O Jesus, you who experienced and shared this devastated world with us, we trust you to be with us in the dark times. At moments, life can be beautiful and fulfilling; at others, it can be like a hell.…Hold onto my hand in the darkness. Come to me in the lonely night.

Christ - Reality:

In today's Gospel, Jesus asserts, 'No servant is greater than His Master.' Jesus is the Master of all masters. Do we compromise on the way we live the 'Commandments of Christ' in our homes, at work, in socialising and the like? Are we exemplary or lukewarm Christians?

Prayer is certainly the most wonderful medicine in the world. And none of us ever grows strong enough to do without it.

- Saint Hyacinth (1185-1257)
