Amen, I say to you, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see and did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it.
(Matthew 13:17)
How blessed we are, Lord, to live in a time when we have the Word recorded for us, when we receive the Word Made Flesh in the Eucharist and have the good word always available. We are Christians! In this troubled world, in these troubled times, you do not abandon us. Let us open our eyes and ears to you. Have mercy on us. Grant us peace.
