RESPONSORIAL PSALM: You open wide your hand, O Lord,

                              And grant us our desires.

IMPULSES FOR PRAYER:

Proverbs 9:1-6;  Isaiah 55:1-3;  Matt 14:13-21;  Mark 6;30-34; 

Luke 9;10-17

MEDITATION:

When we consider the tendency to make power rather than love the defining characteristic of God, it is not surprising when we hear that in the ancient world Christians were ridiculed for worshipping a crucified God –

the very idea seemed self-contradictory.

John Macquarrie, The Humility of God
