Then the Lord said to Abram: “Depart from your land, and from your kindred, and from your father’s house, and come into the land that I will show you.

Today's reading reflects on the calling of Abraham, and his obedience to the calling. It brings to my mind the calling to me for my journey thsi year to Madrid. I get the message to affirm my decision that i've taken in making this journey to Madrid.

Like Abraham, i do not know what He has planned for me. All I can do is pack my bags and go. Trusting in Gods wisdom, that His plans for me are to prosper me and never to harm me.

The gospel today however instead talks about judgement and never to judge anyone. How can i see the splinter in my brothers eye , and not notice the plank in mind.

Together i pray for the humilty to see the error of my ways, and to show mercy to all. My heart tells me that before i can go on this journey, i need to know the error of my ways, and not to judge others. I need to discern my own failings.

Dear Lord,

I offer up my prayers for your people today. We have been called by You, and i pray that you will always keep us close to your Sacred Heart.

As your people depart from their lands to WYD , Lord I pray for your guidance and protection throughtout our journey.

May Your Blessed Mother, Queen of travellers be our guiding light.

Amen
