On Bended Knee

June 06, 2012 by Pat Gohn

Continued from Page 1

Only in God's economy could an injury, or a setback, become our ultimate gain. Only in God's eyes could the kneeling of the heart—a kneel nobody else sees—be our closest communion, our bountiful blessing, our deepest heal.

As Christian experience attests especially in prayer, the more docile we are to the promptings of grace, the more we grow in inner freedom and confidence during trials...

Almighty and merciful God,
in your goodness take away from us all that is harmful,
so that, made ready both in mind and body,
we may freely accomplish your will.

Amen.
(Catechism of the Catholic Church, par. 1742)
