RESPONSORIAL PSALM:  The just will live in the presence of the Lord.

IMPULSES FOR PRAYER: Ex 10: 1-17;   Deut 5:1-21;   Mic 6:6-8;   Mt 7: 16-21

MEDITATION: As followers of Christ it is our task to become more like Christ. We do this by changing ourselves into his image so that what we say and do, what comes out of us, will be nothing other than an expression of the love of God; that love which lies buried somewhere within each of us. Anon.
