Thursday in the Twelfth Week of Ordinary Time

We pray the opening of the day and let Saint Gregory of Nyssa put words to the dizzying wonder of trying to contemplate God. We hold the paradox of “seeing God” and ask for the steady hope that comes when Christ reaches for us in our depths.• opening prayers and the morning offering joined to the Mass• Gregory’s image of standing on a ledge above the sea• “Blessed are the clean of heart” as both promise and challenge• the Scriptural claim that no one can see God and live• hope restored when the Word reaches for us like Peter on the water• Christ making the Father known beyond our understandingIf 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.The Cristeros app is available on the Apple app in Google Play Store.More information on the Cristeros can be found at theCristeros.org.Send us Fan Mail
