Lord Jesus, teach me... not only to pray but most of all teach me to grow in you, to reorder my life in you by reshaping my will and desires with yours, to desire what you desire for me and for others, to open my heart than twist your arm to what I want, to know and seek what brings life, what builds community, what reflects your love and mercy. Lord Jesus, teach me to be angry positively like you when you cleansed the temple, not like Jonah.
Jonah was greatly displeased and became angry that God did not carry out the evil he threatened against Nineveh…But the Lord asked, “Have you reason to be angry?” Then Jonah asked for death, saying, “I would be better off dead than alive.” But God said to Jonah, “Do you have reason to be angry over the plant?” “I have reason to be angry,” Jonah answered, “angry enough to die.” Then the Lord said, “You are concerned over the plant which cost you no labor and which you did not raise; it came up in one night and in one night it perished. And should I not be concerned over Nineveh, the great city, in which there are more than a hundred and twenty thousand persons who cannot distinguish their right hand from their left, not to mention the many cattle?” (Jonah 4:1, 4, 8-11)
Lord Jesus, teach me to pray so that I may trust you more, so that I may be transformed into the beloved child of the Father like you. Amen. Fr. Nicanor F. Lalog II Our Lady of Fatima University Valenzuela City ([email protected])
