Sirach 18:14-29: Prudence and Self-Control
Friday, August 23, 2019
The morning New Testament reading today is from Romans 2: By your stubbornness and impenitent heart, you are storing up wrath for yourself on the day of wrath and revelation of the last judgment of God, who will repay everyone according to his works: eternal life to those who seek glory, honor, and immortality through perseverance in good works, but wrath and fury to those who selfishly disobey the truth and obey wickedness.
The MAGNIFICAT intercessions seem fitting:
God of peace, make peace among those at war.
God of justice, make right what we have made wrong.
God of goodness, make holy what we have turned to our own selfish ends.
Amen.
