SIXTH TUESDAY
Mark
11:27-33
Jesus, Anointed One, help us to be among
those who acknowledge, praise, and submit to your authority as God’s Agent of
reconciliation and renewal.
Forgive us when we resist and challenge
your authority. Forgive us when we are simply irritated by the challenge that
your authority poses to our customary way of doing things. Forgive us when we reject the new world of
peace, justice, and neighborly welcome that you are creating in your God-given
authority.
Help us not to be afraid to ask serious
questions in the context of our faith, but let those questions arise from a
deep desire for knowledge that will enable us to trust You more fully as we
declare your wondrous works and serve You with greater boldness.
We submit to your authority, not in timid
or fatalistic ways, but with rejoicing and glad obedience. You are our Teacher
and Savior. Amen.
