Daily Prayers – Wednesday, 13th January

Feast of St Kentigern, Patron of Glasgow

“The heart that is generous and kind most resembles God.”

Robert Burns Reflection: When Jesus sacrificed himself on the cross for us, he cried out, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” Even after he was betrayed Christ still forgave his people. We should think to ourselves, do we forgive our friends, family or peers when they do wrong? Is there any point to hold a grudge? We should all remember to love one and other as Jesus loved us.

Prayer: Holy Spirit, help all of us to forgive people who have hurt us. Heal our emotions that have been wounded and teach us how to love unconditionally. Continue to extend your love and mercy toward us to remind us to use your power of living. Amen.

School Prayer Lord, I thank you for bringing me to another day. May I live it completely for You, Through you, With You and in you. Amen

Blessed John Henry Newman, Pray for Us. St Kentigern, Pray for Us.
