Extract
Jesus said to his disciples, “If anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a huge millstone tied around his neck and to be thrown into the sea”. (Mark 9:42)
Thought
Pope Francis commented, “Every Christian can choose between darkness and light, between love and hate.” (Christmas 2013)
Reflection
Lord Jesus, may my days be filled with light and love, happiness and prayer; all in honour of your Almighty Father in Heaven.
Prayer: Solace
May Christ support us all the day long,
till the shadows lengthen,
and the evening comes,
and the busy world is hushed,
and the fever of life is over
and our work is done.
Then in his mercy
may he give us a safe lodging,
and holy rest
and peace at the last. Amen.
