NOTES - Sr. Kara's Prayer
When our hearts are broken and we can’t find the words,
Lord teach us to pray.
When noise overpowers the stillness of silence,
Lord teach us to pray.
When destruction is rampant and peace can’t be found,
Lord teach us to pray.
When lies and confusion distort the truth,
Lord teach us to pray.
When the darkness of sin casts a shadow on the goodness of humanity,
Lord teach us to pray.
When despair blinds our eyes of faith,
Lord teach us to pray.
When doubt darkens our flame of hope,
Lord teach us to pray.
When hate hardens our hearts made for love,
Lord teach us to pray.
Teach us to pray with words,
with silence,
with action,
with pondering.

Matthew 13:44-46
Jesus said to his disciples:
"The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure buried in a field,
which a person finds and hides again,
and out of joy goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant
searching for fine pearls.
When he finds a pearl of great price,
he goes and sells all that he has and buys it."
Joy is more than a fleeting feeling, it's a gift rooted in God's presence. Join us as we reflect on the difference between happiness and true Christian joy, discover God's blessings hidden throughout our day, and open our hearts to the joy that no circumstance can take away. Take some time to rest with the Lord and rediscover the gift He longs to place within you.
