FOURTH
SATURDAY
Mark 7:1-23
God of
creation and covenant, give us discernment. Enable us to see which of the
traditions we cling to are deeply rooted in your word and which we have
fabricated for our own reasons, our own comfort, and our own glory.
Forgive us
for resisting your presence. Forgive us for closing our hearts against the work
of transformation that Jesus is doing among us as Agent of your healing,
liberating reign.
Prevent
evil from fermenting in our hearts and minds and pouring from us in ways that
corrupt and damage our relationships with others. Help us to avoid everything
that diminishes us or our neighbors.
Enable us
to honor You with heart and mind, but also help us to use our bodies for works
of obedience that bring honor to You. Energize us for the truly free, fully human
life for which You have created and redeemed us. Amen.
