Greetings!
Thank you for joining us in prayer and reflection during the season of Lent. This Sunday we will share the Gospel and a prayer and invite you to share in reflection and prayer in the community of your congregation. Christian Formation Commission |
At that very hour some Pharisees came and said to him, 'Get away from here, for Herod wants to kill you.' He said to them, 'Go and tell that fox for me, "Listen, I am casting out demons and performing cures today and tomorrow, and on the third day I finish my work. Yet today, tomorrow, and the next day I must be on my way, because it is impossible for a prophet to be killed away from Jerusalem." Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it! How often have I desired to gather your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you were not willing! See, your house is left to you. And I tell you, you will not see me until the time comes when you say, "Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord."'

Prayer
Brooding Spirit, beneath your wings there is creation and life:
accompany us on a difficult path with
the disappeared and the broken,
the fearful and the vengeful,
until we find the way to the city of our peace
where we are accepted as we are;
through the cross of Jesus Christ, our only Lord. Amen.
