Morning Prayer for Eleventh Sunday after Pentecost B 2009
Renew our vision of a world of accomplishment by guiding us to more valiant endeavors.
Renew our vision of a world of accomplishment by guiding us to more valiant endeavors.
To see a community change into an extension of God’s Kingdom as a result of your work is forever rewarding.
The remembrance of Jesus death and resurrection, his promise to be with us always … All of this and more are what keeps the faith fulfilled and energized.
As we partake of the wine placed here, fill us with a renewed life dedicated to the lifestyle Jesus taught us.
We want to be satisfied with our lives. We come to be fed with food from God.
Do you understand: Our anger? Our greed? Our jealousies?
The church is more than the sum of its worldly parts.
When we have angry feelings, help us to bring to you. When we are frustrated as the result of seeming futile struggles to get ahead in our lives, help us to confess those to you.
Over the years, I have heard many lament the loss of values that the present world has. I have heard teachers complain about the lack of discipline among the children in their classes. I have heard grandparents worry about the indifference to Christian values in their grandchildren. I have listened to husbands and wives complain about the loss of love in their marriages. I have heard church members complain about the lack of loyalty to God that seems prevalent in our society. All these things and more add up to the urgency of our need for God's Church.
