Scripture, Reflection and Prayer for Thursday, February 18, 2010

My Father, if this cup cannot pass away unless I drink it, Your will be done.
- Matthew 26:42

Reflection: There is a higher wisdom: a wisdom that reveals the true meaning of our human weakness and our pain. That wisdom is revealed in Christ. He knows what it is to suffer; He experienced it on the road to Calvary.
- Pope John Paul II

Prayer: O Lord, the wisdom of the world tells me to think only of myself. Teach me to enter into th emystery of surrendering to the Father's will. Let me say, "Not my will, but Your will be done."
