Thursday in the Eleventh Week of Ordinary Time

We pray through Thursday of the eleventh week in ordinary time and listen to Saint Cyprian unpack the Lord’s Prayer with a sharp focus on daily bread and daily mercy. We connect the Eucharist to spiritual life and face the daily need for repentance so we can remain close to Christ in grace. • opening prayers and offering of the day’s work, joys, and sufferings • Saint Cyprian’s reading on “give us this day our daily bread” in both literal and spiritual senses • Christ as the bread of life and the Eucharist as the food of salvation • the danger of serious sin leading to abstaining from communion and separation from Christ • “forgive us our trespasses” as a daily reminder that we sin and need God’s mercy • 1 John on self-deception, confession, and God’s faithful forgiveness • closing prayers for grace, perseverance, and entrustment through the heart of Mary If you found this time of prayer and reflection fruitful and would like more opportunities to grow in your faith, consider joining the Cristeros and purchasing our publications now available on Amazon.com.
