Gospel: Matthew 11:11-15
Jesus said to the crowds: “Amen, I say to you, among those born of women there has been none greater than John the Baptist; yet the least in the Kingdom of heaven is greater than he. From the days of John, the Baptist until now, the Kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent are taking it by force. All the prophets and the law prophesied up to the time of John. And if you are willing to accept it, he is Elijah, the one who is to come. Whoever has ears ought to hear.”
Lord Jesus,
Make me a better listener. Empty me of noise and clutter, to hear what needs to be heard. Let me not be afraid of silence. Give me ears that hear and a heart that understands. Your word and Holy Spirit are always speaking. They tell me the truth of your creation and guide me to righteousness. Still, I struggle with sin and doubt. Sometimes I feel lost and hopeless. I pray to ask you to open my ears to your truths and teaching. Apply them to my life so I can obey you more.
Amen
