Grant that we may proclaim your word willingly, O Lord, as and when you command and may do it without any reluctance even if it is not according to our liking. We make this prayer in the Name of your Son. Amen.
Midway to our celebration of the Cross and Easter, we reflect on how we are like the animals, tables and vendors in the temple, interfering with others\' finding the Lord. As individuals and as a community, we must repent. But we are called to more than guilt feelings.
