TWENTY THIRD SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME |
Who can comprehend the Lord's ways or conceive what the Lord intends? True wisdom leads us to acknowledge our limitations and our idols of materialism as we seek to follow the Lord without reservation. True discipleship calls us to forgive those who have wronged us. May we gain wisdom of heart to discern more fully our call to take up the Cross of Jesus. |
