St Josephine Bakhita (OM)

Day of Prayer Against Human Trafficking

1 Kings 8:22-23, 27-30; Psalm 84:3-5, 10-11; Mark 7:1-13

Our morning offering

Jesus challenges those who carry out the superficial observances of religion but do not allow God to truly enter their hearts. They are outwardly observant but inwardly rebellious. Our faith can be a bit like that at times too. We do the right things but our hearts can be far away from God. This is a continual struggle for us and I think we all experience it in some way. It is good to sincerely give all of our lives each day to the Lord. A heartfelt morning offering is a good way to do this.
