Grant us the ability to see and focus our attention to what is good and right. God and our loving Father, we thank you for the gift of a new day. As cold winter days gradually recede and the daylight hours continue to grow longer, let my heart reawaken with a renewed sense of kindness and warmth, patience and generosity. Loving God, today marks the beginning of a new month, with the arrival of spring in a few weeks. Let us be instruments of your love today. For everyone who asks, receives and the one who seeks, finds and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.” Thank you for the promise to hear our prayers help each one of us, in turn, to be attentive to those in need around us. Lord Jesus, in today’s gospel you say to your disciples, “Ask and it will be given to you seek and you will find knock and the door will be opened to you. May we treat those we meet today with love and kindness. May we love and respect each other as you have loved and respected each one of us. Help us Lord to offer a smile or a kind word to each other.

We tend to be easily judging others negatively. In this world which has lost its way in following you, sometimes we lose our respect toward one another.
