A Sunday in Ordinary Time

Do not be afraid little flock; 

it is your Father’s good pleasure

to give you the kingdom. Luke 12:32 

     

                                                                                                                                                          

Saturday Evening Prayer

Teach us to be long-suffering 

in anguish and insecurity.; teach us to wait and trust. Grant light, grant, strength and patience for all who work for peace... grant us prudence in proportion to our power, 

wisdom in proportion to our science, humanness 

in proportion to our wealth and might. And bless 

our earnest will to help all...peoples to travel with us, along the road of justice,liberty and lasting peace.

it is 

what comes 

out of the mouth that defiles a person. What goes Into the mouth comes out and goes into the sewer. But if what comes out of your mouth Belongs in the sewer you're in big trouble, because what coms out of your mouth is what is in your heart. 

                      Paraphrase of Matthew 15:11,18

Wednesday

For everything 

there is a season 

and a time for every purpose under heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die; 

a time to plant and a time to pluck up what is planted; 

a time to kill and 

a time to heal;  

a time to break down 

and a time to build up, 

a time to weep and 

a time to laugh; 

a time to mourn 
and a time to dance;
a time to throw away stones
and a time to gather
stones together; a time
to embrace and a time
to refrain from embracing,
a time to seek and a
time to lose, a time to keep
and a time to throw away;
a time to tear and a time to sew,
a time to keep silence
and a time to speak;
a time to love and a time to hate. 
For everything there is a season
and a time for every purpose under heaven.
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
