Say Yes & Go ! Yes, I Will !!!!!! Jesus wants us to say Yes & to do God’s will.
A Prayer to say
Dear Jesus, in today’s Gospel you tell us what matters is not saying that we will do
God’s will, but actually doing God’s will. From now on I will try to do what you ask &
be loving & good to everyone. Amen
