Prayer of St. Thomas Aquinas

Grant me, O Lord my God,
a mind to know you,

conduct pleasing to you,
faithful perseverance in waiting for you,
and a hope of finally embracing you.

Amen.

Prayer of the Day 28 January 2022 | Responsorial Psalm:

Psalms 51:3-4, 5-6, 6-7, 10-11

³ For I am well aware of my offences, my sin is constantly in mind.

⁴ Against you, you alone, I have sinned, I have done what you see to be wrong, that you may show your saving justice when you pass sentence, and your victory may appear when you give judgement,

⁵ remember, I was born guilty, a sinner from the moment of conception.

⁶ But you delight in sincerity of heart, and in secret you teach me wisdom.

⁷ Purify me with hyssop till I am clean, wash me till I am whiter than snow.

¹⁰ God, create in me a clean heart, renew within me a resolute spirit,

¹¹ do not thrust me away from your presence, do not take away from me your spirit of holiness.

Prayer of the Day 28 January 2022 | Gospel:

Mark 4:26-34

²⁶ He also said, ‘This is what the kingdom of God is like. A man scatters seed on the land.

²⁷ Night and day, while he sleeps, when he is awake, the seed is sprouting and growing; how, he does not know.

²⁸ Of its own accord the land produces first the shoot, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear.

²⁹ And when the crop is ready, at once he starts to reap because the harvest has come.’

³⁰ He also said, ‘What can we say that the kingdom is like? What parable can we find for it?

³¹ It is like a mustard seed which, at the time of its sowing, is the smallest of all the seeds on earth.

³² Yet once it is sown it grows into the biggest shrub of them all and puts out big branches so that the birds of the air can shelter in its shade.’

³³ Using many parables like these, he spoke the word to them, so far as they were capable of understanding it.

³⁴ He would not speak to them except in parables, but he explained everything to his disciples when they were by themselves.
