Scripture, Reflection and Prayer for Wednesday, August 18, 2010

Well done, good and faithful servant....Come and share your master's joy.
- Matthew 25:21

Reflection: In God's house we must try to accept whatever job He gives us: cook, kitchen boy, waiter, stable boy or baker. For we know that our reward depends not on the job itself but on the faithfulness with which we serve God.
- Pope John Paul I

Prayer: Heavenly Father, help me to accept the task You have given me to do in life. Let me be faithful to it all my days and be able to attain your eternal reward in heaven.
