Isaiah 43:16-21
Thus
says the Lord, who makes a way in the sea, a path in the
mighty waters, who brings out chariot and horse,
army and
warrior; they lie down, they cannot rise, they are
extinguished, quenched like a wick: Do
not remember the former things, or consider the things of old, I am about to do a new thing; now
it springs forth, do
you not perceive it? I will make a way
in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.
The wild animals will honor
me, the jackals and the ostriches; for I give water in the
wilderness, rivers in the desert, to give drink to my
chosen
people, the
people whom I formed for myself so that they
might declare my praise.
John 12:1-8
Six
days before the Passover Jesus came to
Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead. There they gave a dinner for him. Martha served, and Lazarus was one of those
at the
table with him.
Mary took a pound of costly perfume made of pure
nard, anointed Jesus’ feet, and wiped them with
her hair. The house
was filled with the fragrance of the
perfume. But Judas Iscariot, one
of his disciples (the
one who was about to betray him), said, “Why
was this perfume not sold for three hundred
denarii and the money
given to the poor?” (He said this not because he
cared about the
poor, but because he was a thief; he kept the
common purse and
used to steal what was put into it) Jesus said, “Leave her alone.
She
bought it so that she might keep it for the day of my burial. You
always have the poor with you, but you do not
always have me.”

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
