Lectio: Lk 12.1-7

“Even the hairs of your head are counted. Do not be afraid. You are worth more than many sparrows.” Lk 12.7

“O God, You have given us our emotions as a gift and You have provided us with guidance for the use of these gifts.

I remember Jesus admonished His followers and told them not to fear even in the face of persecutions for You are always mindful of them and no everlasting harm can come to them.

Grant that in fearful times to always turn to You with confidence knowing You will protect me from the greatest evil - Satan and his minions.

I ask this of You who lives and reigns with Jesus and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever. Amen.

Operatio: Reflect on “emotions” - unthinking; Gold given; give us the energy to respond. Resolve to pray always when my emotions are aroused and reflect on the actions being prompted and only do what Love would do so that my God-given gifts of my emotions will always be used rightly.

Tomorrow’s readings: Lk 12. 8-12
