Come to Stillness: Take a few minutes to allow your mind and heart to
be still before God.
Opening Prayer: Lord, I know not what I ought to ask of
you. You only know what I need. You know me better than I know myself. O Father, give to your child what he himself
knows not how to ask. Teach me to
pray. Pray yourself in me.
~Archbishop Francois
Fenelon
Scripture Reading for the Day: Psalm 131:1-3
Reading for Reflection:
Prayer is being loved at
a deep, sweet level. I hope you have
felt such intimacy alone with God. I promise
you it is available to you. Maybe a lot
of us just need to be told that it is what we should expect and seek. It feels presumptuous. We can’t trust that such a love exists. But it does. (Everything Belongs
by Richard Rohr)
Reflection and Listening: silent and written
Prayer: for the church, for others, for myself
Prayer: for the church, for others, for myself
Closing Prayer: O God of peace, who hast taught us
that in returning and rest we shall be saved, in quietness and in confidence
shall be our strength: By the might of thy Spirit lift us, we pray thee,
to thy presence, where we may be still and know that thou art God;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. (The Book of Common Prayer)
