James 1:1-11 ><)))*> 0 <*(((>< Mark 8:11-13
How often does it still happen today, Lord Jesus Christ, that like in our gospel today you would “sigh from the depth of your heart” after we, your people, would ask you for more signs from heaven?
Have mercy on us, Lord, for our lack of faith in you after all these years.
Forgive us for being “unstable in all our ways” with you, always “a man of two minds” as St. James would describe us (James 1:8) in seeking wisdom and things from you.
Forgive us for those moments we doubt your presence and power especially when we fail to win your favor, to get your blessings for our particular prayers and supplications.
The fault is really on us, Lord.
If sighing is your way of keeping your patience with our being so stubborn, teach us to reach out to you in the depths of our hearts, to remember those countless occasions you have saved us.
That instead of asking for signs from you, we may just sigh deep inside us to experience you again. Amen.
