Prayer for the Week (May 10-May 16)

/in /by

Let us pray to our living God that in Jesus he show us the road of life: Father, you have sent us Jesus to be our way to you, and through the Holy Spirit, Jesus walks with us on the road to you. Give us the food we need for the journey, the bread of life, Jesus himself, until we reach that eternal home. We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.

Knowing about the truth is not the same as living a life of truth.  Knowing about the life of Jesus Christ is not the same as living a life patterned upon the truth revealed in Christ Jesus.  If we believe that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life then our way of life will increasingly correspond to the truth and life of Jesus Christ (John 14:1-7).

May our following Christ not lead us to spiritual arrogance to beat non-Christians into submission.  Rather, may we point others to Christ by the way we live our lives and the way we treat others.  Jesus, the way, the truth, and the life:  May our lives as his followers reflect his truth and life.

Prayer for the Week (May 3-May 9)

/in /by

Let us pray to God that we always listen to the voice of Jesus, our Good Shepherd: Almighty and loving Father, you have given us a reliable and caring guide to lead us to you and to one another, your Son and our Good Shepherd, Jesus Christ. Help us to hear the Good Shepherd’s voice even in the silence of our faith, in the the groaning of our miseries, and in the words of encouragement and joy of the shepherds of Christ’s Church and of everyone who has a good word for us, for there too speaks and calls our Good Shepherd, Jesus Christ.
Amen.

Among the earliest images of the art of Christ is Christ as the Good Shepherd (John 10:1-10). The voice of the divine shepherd may be loud and clear, yet there are times we may have trouble differentiating between the voice of the thief and the Divine Shepherd. Despite our failures, Jesus calls you and me by name. May you and I respond by listening to and following that divine voice. Take the time to develop a relationship with God so that you more clearly recognize the voice of the Divine Shepherd speaking to us through the Holy Spirit.
