Praying for You
Sunday's gospel reading (John 17:20-27) is first and foremost a prayer. It is Jesus' prayer, and we are given the privilege of listening in as he prays on behalf of his disciples and people of all times and places. Listeners are given a glimpse of Jesus' mission for the world-that all may be drawn into the life of the triune God. On the eve of his death, Jesus entrusts this particular community of disciples-but also our communities, our lives, and our world-into the care of God.
What is it Jesus is doing when he prays? What is it the church does when it prays on behalf of the world and other people? To be prayed for by another is to know one's life is cared for and has value to the one praying on your behalf. It is to know that much of the future is out of one's own control but rests instead in the care of the Triune God. To be prayed for is to be vulnerable, dependent, and deeply loved. Here is the astoundingly good news: Jesus prays for you, and for the communities in which we find ourselves. Whether your cup is empty or full, whether your community is in crisis or experiencing joy, whether your future is foggy or clear, Jesus loves you deeply and your life is bound to the God who loved you before the foundations of the world. On the eve of his death, Jesus entrusted your life and the church's life and its entire future to the Father. What glorious good news that the future rests in the care of the Triune God, and that we, the church, are set free to make God known to the world. [Sundays and Seasons, 2016] Set free we gather in worship to be fed and forgiven--see you Sunday! Bill+

She grew up in Westwood, NJ and attended St. Luke's Nursing School in New York City graduating with her R.N. in 1951. She married John Cochrane the same year and they moved to Woodbury, CT where raised their family until moving to Durham, NH in 1969.

Wherever they lived, Mary Lou involved herself in her community and church's numerous activities and was devoted to public service all of her life. She and her husband John lived their principles of equal opportunity, compassion and leaving their world a better place. Losing her ability to contribute to her many causes and to be active in her community caused her great sadness.

Remembrances can be made in the form of contributions to the Alzheimer's Association, Massachusetts/ New Hampshire Chapter, 480 Pleasant St, Watertown, MA 02472.
