Week 7 Wednesday – Sirach 4:11-19; Mark 9:38-40

Whoever loves her loves life, and those who seek her early will be filled with joy.

Oh, Divine Light and Wisdom, our Lord, I come before You in humility, seeking Your celestial insight. Bestow upon me the fortitude to welcome each dawn with a heart full of joy, and grace me with the ability to avoid the snares of grumbling and dissatisfaction. Fill me with the wisdom to love even those who shun me, and grant me the discernment to fully accept Your divine plan for my life.

In Your mercy, Father, infuse my heart with Your ageless wisdom so that I may not only gratefully receive it but also radiate its luminous light to all who cross my path. Let my life mirror the boundless generosity of Your grace, and let me be a living testament to the hope and joy found in You – a beacon of Your everlasting love in a world thirsting for Your light. Amen.
