Father Sean's Weekly Message

August 13, 2022

Here is a helpful prayer for the week. It is a portion of Psalm 51:
Create a clean heart in me, O God.
A clean heart create for me, O God;
and a steadfast spirit renew within me.
Cast me not out from your presence,
and your Holy Spirit take not from me.
Give me back the joy of your salvation,
and a willing spirit sustain in me.
I will teach transgressors your ways,
and sinners shall return to you.
For you are not pleased with sacrifices;
should I offer a burnt offering, you would not accept it.
My sacrifice, O God, is a contrite spirit;
a heart contrite and humbled, O God, you will not spurn.
Matthew Kelly was asked, “Explain how to live as a Christian in 10 words or less.” His answer, “You were made in the image of God. Act accordingly.”
