With boldness let us approach the throne of grace ...and find grace as a timely help, alleluia.
(Entrance Antiphon)
Acts 22:30: 23:6-11
My brothers I have fulfilled my duty to God in all good conscience to this day.
Blessed John Henry Newman said: ‘Never think yourself safe because you do your duty in ninety nine points; it is the hundredth which is to be the ground of your self-denial.’ The idea of duty, rather like sin, is perceived as a rather old fashioned one today. Why is this? One of the reasons is that duty is called for when we least feel like being dutiful or following through on our promises or obligations. The spirit may be willing but the flesh is weak. This is where the Spirit gives us strength and determination to be faithful and obedient to our promises. We see this quality of duty in the life of the Queen who conducts her duties with great dignity and grace.
Lord, help me to be dutiful and diligent in the day to day, nitty gritty, small things in my life.
