Genesis 6:5-8;7:1-5, 10///Mark 8:14-21

Thank you very much Lord Jesus Christ for your patience and fidelity in bearing with my mindlessness and lack of understanding in reading your signs in my life.

So many times, despite your many blessings and very presence in my life, I still don’t get it like your disciples that I can feel as so real, O Lord, your seeming desperation, asking me, “Do you still not understand?” (Mk.8:21)

There are times Lord that my mind wanders far into other concerns like the material “bread” being offered by the world that I easily forget the wondrous signs of far more important things you have been showing me like love and mercy, kindness and compassion.

Cleanse my heart, dear Jesus, especially when all I desire are evil like the people during the time of Noah.  Let me be on guard against the leaven and understanding of the world that is fleeting and temporary.  Amen.  Fr.
