Psalm 97; 112
Job 40:1-24
Acts 15:36-16:5
John 11:55-12:8
We rejoice in your generous goodness, O God, and celebrate your lavish gifts to us this day, for you have shown your love in giving Jesus Christ for the salvation of the world. Especially we give thanks for
the labors of those who have served us this day...
friends with whom we have shared...
those whom we love and who have loved us...
opportunities for our work to help others...
all beauty that delights us...
Gracious God, we know you are close to all in need, and by our prayers for others we come closer to you. We are bold to claim for others your promises of new life in Jesus Christ, as we claim them for ourselves. Especially we pray for
those in dangerous occupations...
physicians and nurses...
those who are ill or confined to nursing homes...
those who mourn...
the Roman Catholic Church...
The Lord's Prayer
Responsory
It's such a short time to pray
as short as I could like it
Yet it expands from within
billowing with names
and all the outrageous goodness
that I yearn for them.
It was a yearning I did not quite feel
until I stopped
for such a short time to pray
