Come to Stillness: Take a few minutes to allow your mind and heart to
be still before God.
Opening Prayer: Saving God, you set your heart on us and made
us your own. May we listen with the ear
of our hearts to the many ways your Word and your love will be present to us
and formed in us this day. We ask this
through Jesus, the Word made flesh.
Amen. (The Work of God)
Scripture Reading for the Day: Colossians 3:12-17
Reading for Reflection:
Take in fully, gently,
and carefully what you are reading.
Taste it and digest it as you read.
Use the scripture passage to sense the presence of the Lord, you stay
with the passage until you have sensed the very heart of what you have
read…your purpose is to take everything from the passage that unveils the Lord
to you. (Experiencing the Depths of Jesus Christ by Jeanne Guyon)
Reflection and Listening: silent and written
Prayer: for the church, for others, for myself
Prayer: for the church, for others, for myself
Closing
Prayer: Your testimonies are
wonderful, O Lord; therefore my soul keeps them. The unfolding of your words gives light; it
imparts understanding to the simple. I open my mouth and pant,
because I long for your commandments.
Turn to me and be gracious to me, as is your way with those who love
your name. Keep steady my steps
according to your promise, and let no iniquity get dominion over me. Redeem me from man's oppression, that I may
keep your precepts. Make your face shine
upon your servant, and teach me your statutes.
My eyes shed streams of tears, because people do not keep your law. Amen. (Psalm 119:129-136)
