O Supreme Lord of the Universe, you fill and sustain everything around us.  With the touch of your hand you turned chaos into order, darkness into light.  Unknown energies you hid in the heart of matter.  From you burst forth the splendor of the sun and the mild radiance of the moon.  Stars and planets without number you set in ordered movement.  You are the source of the fire’s heat and the wind’s might, of the water’s coolness and the earth’s stability.  Deep and wonderful are the mysteries of your creation.  Amen.

Mark 10:25-35

25It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.’ 26They were greatly astounded and said to one another,* ‘Then who can be saved?’ 27Jesus looked at them and said, ‘For mortals it is impossible, but not for God; for God all things are possible.’

28 Peter began to say to him, ‘Look, we have left everything and followed you.’ 29Jesus said, ‘Truly I tell you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields, for my sake and for the sake of the good news,* 30who will not receive a hundredfold now in this age—houses, brothers and sisters, mothers and children, and fields, with persecutions—and in the age to come eternal life. 31But many who are first will be last, and the last will be first.’

A Third Time Jesus Foretells His Death and Resurrection

32 They were on the road, going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was walking ahead of them; they were amazed, and those who followed were afraid. He took the twelve aside again and began to tell them what was to happen to him, 33saying, ‘See, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be handed over to the chief priests and the scribes, and they will condemn him to death; then they will hand him over to the Gentiles; 34they will mock him, and spit upon him, and flog him, and kill him; and after three days he will rise again.’

The Request of James and John

35 James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came forward to him and said to him, ‘Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask of you.’

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


In the time of King Herod, after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem

Daily Prayer

Please use this guided prayer as a way to pray daily for the whole world.

Together, let us pray

For the people of this congregation…

For those who suffer and those in trouble…

For the concerns of this local community…

For the world, it’s peoples, and it’s leaders…

For the Church universal – it’s leaders, it’s members, and it’s mission

In communion with the saints…Amen
