Sunday Reflection (July 5, 2020)

/in /by

The tenor of God’s Word reveals God’s concern for the poor, the weak, and the vulnerable.  Is that our concern also?  Do our concerns align with God’s?  Christ himself offers us that well-known invitation: “Come unto Me” in the Gospel of Matthew (11:28-30).  Jesus gives us the hope that God has not given up on us.  Indeed, God will strengthen us and give us the courage to learn to be a disciple of Jesus Christ.  This is an ongoing process in which we, together, learn to be disciples of Jesus Christ as we follow the lead of the Holy Spirit, together.

If you have never made a commitment to be a disciple of Jesus Christ, I would be delighted to speak with you about it.  If already a disciple of Christ may we continue to learn to be disciples together in the way of Christ. May we grow in the wisdom and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Prayer for the Week (July 5-July 11)

/in /by

Let us pray that we grow in union with the One who fulfills our heart’s desire:  Almighty God, you have made us for yourself and our hearts are restless until they find their rest in you.  Lead us by your Spirit so that we live to your glory.  We make this prayer through Christ our Lord.  Amen.
