Day 9
2 Cor.1:7-11
7 Our hope for you is firm, for
we know that as you share in the sufferings, you also share in the
encouragement. 8 We do not want
you to be unaware, brothers, of the affliction that came to us in the province
of Asia ; we were utterly weighed down beyond our
strength, so that we despaired even of life. 9 Indeed, we had accepted within ourselves the sentence of death
that we might trust not in ourselves but in God who raises the dead. 10 He rescued us from such great danger of
death, and he will continue to rescue us; in him we have put our hope [that] he
will also rescue us again, 11 as
you help us with prayer, so that thanks may be given by many on our behalf for
the gift granted us through the prayers of many.
Who has entrusted their needs to your
prayers? How does Mary want to be with you in your prayer?Many ask for our prayers but I know I am not as faithful in prayer as I need to be. That is why I am grateful at Mass that our prayers of the faithful always contain the request: "for those for whom we have promised to pray and for those for whom we have forgotten to pray and for those for whom we find it difficult to pray". Prayer is such a simple thing and should not be taken lightly. As we come to the end of this novena it makes me want to deepen my habits of prayer throughout the season of Lent so that I can walk with Jesus in the desert. I am so glad to have such a wonderful spiritual family to walk with me. Thank you Pro Sanctity!
