Reflection

“Brothers and sisters: The Spirit comes to the aid of our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes with inexpressible groanings. And the one who searches hearts knows what is the intention of the Spirit, because he intercedes for the holy ones according to God’s will.” —Romans 8:26-27

Prayer

Spirit within,

We should be more open to the mystery of your Spirit’s working within us. After all, you know us better than we know ourselves! Help us learn to trust you more than we do, especially in the quiet of our hearts, where our deepest longings dwell and where you promise to meet us and help us with the prayers that we most need to pray. As we trust ourselves to your plans, we are grateful that you promise to intercede with and for us. Amen.
