THE KNOTS PRAYER Dear God:
Please untie the knots that are in my mind, my heart and my life. Remove the have nots, the can nots and the do nots
that I have in my mind. Erase the will nots, may nots, might nots that may find a home in my heart. Release me from the could nots, would nots
and should nots that obstruct my life. And most of all, Dear God,
I ask that you remove from my mind, my heart and my life all of the 'am nots'
that I have allowed to hold me back, especially the thought that I am not good enough.
AMEN

NEXT WEEK’S LITURGICAL MINISTERS
MASS INTENTIONS
Abraham, the just and upright man, graciously hosts three visitors. As Mary and Martha host Jesus, he speaks on only one thing as necessary for us who follow him: being open to receive the message and person of Jesus, and being receptive to “the mystery of Christ” as he comes to us through one another.
