Friday the Ninth Week in Ordinary Time

As Jesus was teaching in the temple area he said,
“How do the scribes claim that the Christ is the son of David?
David himself, inspired by the Holy Spirit, said:

The Lord said to my lord,
‘Sit at my right hand
until I place your enemies under your feet.’

David himself calls him ‘lord’;
so how is he his son?”
The great crowd heard this with delight.

Mark 12:35-37

Prayer

Dear Father through the Holy Spirit it was revealed long ago through David that Jesus is your Son. There is no doubt of this with all the works that have been done. We are the ones who read of this account and come to believe and rejoice. It is our delight that Jesus is the Son of God, who comes to us to clear our eyes. With faith we see your hand in all things that belong to you. Your Word handed down to us to reveal your Sons divinity and your love for us. It is this love that we come to know how to love you and love others and most especially to love your Son. May our day be filled with a sense of renewal in our faith, in our love. Amen
