However great the temptation, if we
know how to use the weapon of prayer
well, we shall come off conquerors at
last; for prayer is more powerful than
alL the devils
~ St. Bernard of Clairvaux,
Doctor of the Church
Our relationships often need reconciling and
healing. While it is easy to say, it is often
difficult to achieve. Sometimes, reconciling
requires that we take down the barriers that
are sources of division, remove our
prejudices, look beyond differences, and
see the "sameness" that connects us one to
another. Of course, each party has to be
willing to do this in order for healing to
occur. Our Gospel shows us the healing that
can occur when both parties are willing
participants.

 FAMILY FAITH FORMATION

Sharing the Gospel

Jesus met a woman who had amazing faith.

She was brave. She was loud. She did not
care what anybody else thought. Jesus was
the Savior, and she knew he could heal her
daughter. Jesus can help you with any
problem you have, too. Be brave. Keep asking
Jesus for help. God is strong. He can do
anything.

Prayer
Jesus, help me to be brave. I know you can do
anything.

Something to Draw
Draw a picture of the brave woman asking
Jesus for help.

Mission for the Week

If you know someone who is sick, be brave
and pray about it. Jesus can do anything.

A Lesson from Eckhart Tolle

Wherever you are and whatever you do,

be there fully and give your 100% to it.

Whatever particular situation you find

yourself in, try and do what you can to
contribute in the best possible way. If
you are uncomfortable and unable to
contribute positively, you have three
options: leave, change or accept.
Whatever you decide to do, live with it
and give it your best shot. Once you de-
cide, be sure to take responsibility of
whatever transpires of it.
