Scripture, Reflection and Prayer for Wednesday, September 16, 2009

Your Will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
-Mt 6:10

Reflection: We must carry out the Will of God rather than our own. This is what we pledge to do in the "Our Father," which we recite every day. What a travesty it would be if after praying that God's Will be done we should carry out that Will halfheartedly and only because we are obliged to do so!
-St. Cyprian of Carthage

Prayer: Heavenly Father, let me curb my own desires and strive to discover Your Will for me. Help me to do that Will wholeheartedly in all things, for You have my best interests at heart.
