Dear Family of Love!
Today I walked the Whole Holy #3! The marine layer added and extra special luster to the Sunset. It was nice to be outdoors since the news hasn't been that good and depressed me greatly. We need to come together and pray for peace and sanity in God's world. Today it seemed as though we had nothing but bad news, sadness, and crazy pundits going after minority groups writing a lot of hurtful and nonsensical stuff that has me shaking my head and almost becoming a bobble head! Tonight let us begin a more intentional time of praying for peace and reflecting upon how we can become peacemakers and loving family members to God's broken world. Tomorrow I invite anyone who is interest to participate where ever you are in The Global Meditation for Peace Tonight let's get started with a period of reflection and taking time to find peace at the center. Here is tonight's musical selection :Ludovico Einaudi -Divenire Mix
As we take time to reflect and listen to the music and find our hearts made still and may we be made ready for prayer.
Gracious Jesus, we come to you with heavy hearts that need to feel your presence. Help us to send a message of peace to God's broken world.
Loving Jesus, we pray for all of the war torn areas of the world remembering Iraq, Israel and Gaza, Syria, The Ukraine, Libya, Central America where there are drug cartels. Nigeria, Sudan , South Sudan, Rwanda, and The Darfur region.
Merciful Jesus, we pray for all of our family members throughout the world that we may be united in love, mercy and justice and that we may be ready to become members in your family.
Healing Jesus, we pray for all those who are a ill in body, mind, and spirit. We remember this night all of the many children who are ill.
Courageous Jesus, Help us we pray to seek justice and equality in your world and that everyone may be afforded dignity no matter who they are and what their circumstances are.
Peaceful Jesus, help us to lay down our burdens and go to the other side to spend time resting and praying.
Joyful Jesus, may we always remember you in the breaking of bread and in the prayers. Help us to feel your presence wherever we go and especially in our weekly celebration with our families of faith.
Tender Jesus, may we remember all of the least of these and not look down on them and make them feel invisible. Help us to know and remember they are family too.
Occasionally Angry Jesus, may we learn and have courage to speak truth to power and to help set things aright.
Broken Jesus, We thank you for your willingness to go to the Cross for the forgiveness of our sins may we have and attitude of forgiveness and mercy towards all our family members.
Jesus in the Tomb, may we remember and feel what our lives would be with out you and may we never take You and your gift of salvation for granted.
Risen Jesus may we remember all those who have died and have risen in glory and now reside in the Thin Places.
Watchful Jesus, Watch over all your children and all of creation this night as we rest gentle in your arms.
All this we ask in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ the Anointed One. Amen.
