“Stir up our hearts, O Lord, to prepare the ways of Thy only-begotten Son: that by His coming we may be able to serve Him with purified minds.”

                                                            Roman Missal

                                                            Collect for Second Sunday

For Reflection: 

Consider: How does a purified mind lead to better service of the Lord? In what areas has my mind been purified? How does my service reflect that? Where do I still need some purification? How does my service reflect that?
