...for the week of Oct. 31:
Dear Loving Creator:
In our first reading and our Gospel passage we hear these words, “Hear, O Israel!” Loving God, we pray that we continue to do our best to listen: to You, to Your Word both in the Bible as well as Your Word made flesh in Jesus and what He reveals, as well as the Wisdom the Holy Spirit provides. We pray that we continue to spend some time each day and perhaps several times a day to listen to You.
We pray that we allow ourselves to hear You say that we are created in Your love and that Your love is unwavering. Given this foundation for living, we promise to do our best in listening to one another. We also pray that we opt to ask questions when doing so facilitates our conversations with each other.
Jesus stated that the scribe in the Gospel was not far from the Kingdom of God. We allow You to transform us so that we make real what the word Kingdom means: peace, joy, love, wholeness, goodness, grace, and all the other words we use to describe You our Gracious One. We want to live in praise of You, and we promise to do our best through Christ Our Lord.
