Daily Mass, St. Jerome, Priest & Doctor of the Church, Saturday, September 30, 2023

Daily Mass, St. Jerome, Priest & Doctor of the Church, Saturday, September 30, 2023 Good morning! Welcome to St. Gilbert Church! O God, who gave the Priest St. Jerome a living and tender love for Sacred Scripture, grant that your people may be ever more fruitfully nourished by your Word and find in it the fount of life. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God forever and ever. Amen. DAILY MEDITATION | SEPTEMBER 30, 2023 A Prayer O Lord, Life passes by swiftly. Events that a few years ago kept me totally preoccupied have now become vague memories; conflicts that a few months ago seemed so crucial in my life now seem futile and hardly worth the energy; inner turmoil that robbed me of my sleep only a few weeks ago has now become a strange emotion of the past; books that filled me with amazement a few days ago now do not seem as important; thoughts that kept my mind captive only a few hours ago have now lost their power and have been replaced by others. . . . Why am I continuously trapped in this sense of urgency and emergency? Why do I not see that you are eternal, that your kingdom lasts forever, and that for you a thousand years are like one day? O Lord, let me enter into your presence and there taste the eternal, timeless, everlasting love with which you invite me to let go of my time-bound anxieties, fears, preoccupations, and worries. . . . Lord, teach me your ways and give me the courage to follow them. Amen. --- From Henri Nouwen Society, Nouwen Mediation September 30, 2023 This stream is created with #PRISMLiveStudio
