PRAYER FOR TODAY
“The Lord, the gracious, the merciful, has made a memorial of his wonders; he gives food to those who fear him.”
— Psalm 111:4-5
Today, we are invited to pause and remember the goodness of our God — a God who nourishes not only our bodies but our hearts and souls. His works are not forgotten; they are living signs of His mercy and care. In every act of kindness, in every provision, in every moment of grace — He is present.
Reflection Prayer:
Lord Jesus, You are my refuge and my provider. Thank You for the countless ways You care for me — often before I even ask. Calm my anxious heart and remind me that Your love is steadfast and unshakable. Help me to see Your hand at work in the small details of my day. Teach me to rely on You more deeply, and to live each moment with gratitude and trust.
Amen. ✨

Father in heaven, you have given me a mind to know you, a will to serve you, and a heart to love you. Give me today the grace and strength to

forgiving towards my neighbor as you have been towards me
Put Your Life in Your Prayer
Read:
Abraham intercedes before Yahweh for Sodom and Gomorrah on account of the good souls there. God forgave our sins thanks to the intercession of Christ. Jesus teaches the disciples how to pray.
Reflect:
The power of intercessory prayer to trump justice in favour of mercy! The cry of justice against Sodom and Gomorrah had reached the throne of God. However, Abraham takes it upon himself to plead for mercy on the twin cities, on account of some good souls there. He resorts to bargaining, succeeding all the way to get God to spare the cities if there were at least ten good souls there. If Abraham bargained with God, Christ’s bargain beats every other: he does so on behalf of us, offering up himself in our place. Can God ever refuse such an intercession? Jesus assures the disciples of the power of intercession, when he narrates the parable of a man who pleads for food for his friend who came visiting. Whatever we ask in prayer, especially when it is on behalf of another, is granted: perhaps not exactly as we desire, but far better than we can ever imagine.
Pray:
Pray interceding for the needs of those around you.
Act:
Be the answer to prayer. Identify the need of a neighbour and respond to the same.
