Lord My Chef Daily Recipe for Soul by Fr. Nicanor F. Lalog II Wednesday in the Fifteenth Week of Ordinary Time, Year II, 15 July 2026 Memorial of St. Bonaventure, Bishop & Doctor of the Church Isaiah 10:5-7, 13-16 <*((((>< + ><))))*> Matthew 11:25-27
Loving Father in heaven, allow me to imitate your Son Jesus Christ's prayer and praise to you this day: "I give praise to you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for although you have hidden these things from the wise and learned you have revealed them to the childlike" (Matthew 10:25).
Yesterday we prayed to you for gratitude and we are grateful today in your answering our prayer; today we pray for the gift of integration, of finding your Son our Lord Jesus Christ at the center of everything in our lives, of the need for us to be open like little children who value most our relationships than all other things.
Like St. Bonaventure may we have the gift of wisdom and the ability to integrate faith and reason in our lives, seeing more the face of the Father in everyone like Jesus who called us his followers as "little children"; yes, Father, integration is being whole, is being like children always open to learn from you, trusting you, following you; take away my pride, my belief in my powers and abilities that keep me closed like most smart Alecks that actually know nothing at all, filled only with flatulence that reek with foul smell especially when they speak. Amen.
