Ordinary Time |
|
The Church's year is divided into seasons. We are now in the
season of ordinary time, characterised by the priest (usually) wearing green
vestments at Mass.
|
|
"I have come that they may have life, and have it
to the full."
|

John 10:10 |

|
Lord, I offer you my seeking;
show me the way.
I offer you my doubts;
lead me to trust in you.
I offer you my hurts;
heal me.
I offer you my fears;
give me hope.
I offer you my loneliness;
welcome me.
I offer you my heart;
warm it with love.
I offer you my journey;
lead me home where
I can live in your justice, peace and love. |
