Come to Stillness: Take a few minutes to allow your mind and heart to
be still before God.
Opening Prayer: Take, Lord, and receive all that I am and
have. You’ve given it all to me; I give
it all back to you. Do with me as you
want. Just give me your love and your
grace and that’s enough.
~St.
Ignatius
Scripture Reading for the Day: Mark 10:32-52
Reading for Reflection:
Only prayer allows us to hear another
voice, to respond to the larger possibilities, to find a way out of our need to
order and control. Then the questions
that seem to shape our identity will not matter so much: Who says good things about me? Who doesn’t?
Who is my friend? My enemy? How many like me? As we make God the center of our lives, our
sense of who we are will depend less on what others think of or say about
us. We will cease being prisoners of the
interpersonal. (Turn My Mourning
Into Dancing by Henri J.M. Nouwen)
Reflection and Listening: silent and written
Prayer: for the church, for others, for myself
Prayer: for the church, for others, for myself
Closing Prayer: Jesus, Lord God and Creator of all things, be
yourself our joy, who are the future prize.
May our glory be in you always, through all the ages. Amen. (Little Book of Hours)
