22nd Sunday of Ordinary Time

Like Peter in today's gospel, we so often struggle when things don't go the way we want them to. We must play on even when the going gets tough. After all, we are on the winning side!



Father, hear the prayer we offer:
not for ease that prayer shall be,
but for strength, that we may ever
live our lives courageously.

Not for ever in green pastures
do we ask our way to be ;
but the steep and rugged pathway
may we tread rejoicingly.

Not forever by still waters
would we idly rest and stay;
but would smite the living fountains
from the rocks along our way.

Be our strength in hours of weakness,
in our wanderings be our Guide;
through endeavor, failure, danger,
Saviour, be thou at our side.



Happy Sunday!
