Merciful Ears: Collect for Proper 10 | #anglican #commonprayer #prayer

Father Jeremiah explains the collect for Proper 10 during the season of Pentecost. This collect asks for the merciful ears of the Lord to be open to his people. What does that mean for us?

The text of the prayer:
Let your merciful ears, O Lord, be open to the prayers of your humble servants; and, that we may receive what we ask, teach us by your Holy Spirit to ask only those things that are pleasing to you; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who with you and the same Spirit lives and reigns for ever and ever. Amen.
