Saturday of Week 4 in Ordinary Time

Give your servant a heart to discern between good and evil.
For who could govern this people of yours which is so great.
Are we prepared to deal with any upheaval.
Do we prepare patiently for the long wait.
Since you have asked for discerning judgement.
Here and now I do what you ask.
And we one day will face a last judgement.
So we need to keep to our task
I give you a heart wise and shrewd.
As none before you has had.
By God all was viewed.
The happy and sad.
Thus Solomon acted wisely.
Do we have the courage to ask sagely.
…….
Discern good and evil
That is the choice given us
But do we do so
……..
See 1 Kings 3 : 4- 13
