PARISH OF URNEY AND ANNAGELLIFF 14th Sunday in Ordinary Time Reflection I asked for strength And God gave me difficulties to make me strong. I asked for wisdom And God gave me problems to solve. I asked for prosperity And God gave me brain and brawn to work. I asked for courage And God gave me dangers to overcome. I asked for love And God gave me troubled people to help. I asked for favours And God gave me opportunities. I received nothing I wanted. But everything I needed.
