ECCLESIOLOGICAL ETCHINGS

January 6, 2020

Prayer for the Week:

No category defines those who seek you –

No class or classification,

no degree or distinction,

no title or entitlement

delineates the boundaries

of those who yearn to know you.

O Holy One born in Bethlehem,

O Nativity of Grace

formed upon the earth,

the world is drawn to you

because of a deep yearning.

As we begin a new year

facing old issues –

weighed down by

brokenness

unresolved grief

trauma

emotional injury –

we acknowledge a force

greater than ourselves

that calls us forward and onward.

Call us to the journey,

not because

we have met certain criteria

or we score above average in math.

Call us to the journey

as it is the place where our spirits

are humbled before the way of love.

This is our request

in these early days of 2020,

a new year filled

with so much joyous potential. Amen.
