Theme for Pentecost 12
Jesus takes away any false illusions that the world will love those who belong to him. He warns us to discern the times so that we live wisely in this transitory world.
Hymn #655
Alleluia. Is not my word like fire, declares the Lord? What has straw in common with wheat? Alleluia.
Merciful Lord, cleanse and defend Your Church by the sacrifice of Christ. United with Him in Holy Baptism, give us grace to receive with thanksgiving the fruits of His redeeming work and daily follow in His way; through the same Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
