Meditating the Words of Jesus from Holy Scriptures 

Lord, make our heart gentle and humble like you.

Blessed are the gentle: they shall have the earth as inheritance Mt 5:4. Our gentleness is a virtue to obtain many blessings from the Lord. Jesus was humble and gentle in heart as mentioned in the Gospel of Matthew 28-30 for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your soul, Mt 11: 29 Jesus is always ready to have us on his shoulders to give us rest from all the troubled waters in our life. Then again Jesus says in Gospel of Mathew, Shoulder my Yoke and learn from me, Mt. 11: 29 When we are gentle and humble, we can trust in Jesus and bear any load or cross in our daily lives. Jesus says once more: Yes, my yoke is easy, and my burden is light It is difficult to bear the burdensome crosses in our lives. But put your faith in Jesus, and trust in him whole heartedly. During todays Holy Mass the Celebrant(father) said in his homily: "Your see, how David became penitent when he sinned against God's will, the sin in flesh, by sleeping with a woman, the wife of his trustworthy soldier. When God became enraged with him, David recognised that he had offended our Lord. David sincerely repented when he penned Psalm 51. David has been forgiven by God, let us pray to our Lord, "Jesus, I trust in you."".  We all may sin, but we must also repent deeply and get over all kind pride in our mind and heart,  but should ask the Lord for forgiveness. Never get weary of pleading for Jesus' pardon.
