Today’s Reading

9/11/2019     Day 254 Matthew 21: 1 – 46

Reflection |
Today -
Chapter 21 - Jesus has a triumphant entry into Jerusalem.
Jesus then cleans the Temple of commerce to remake it
a house of prayer. Leaders - What Authority? Jesus -
What authority did John the Baptist have? Leaders - We
don’t know. Jesus- then you don’t know. I will not answer.
Sinners will be saved. Story of the vineyard and the owner
and evil tenants.  Leaders get mad but feared the crowd.

Collect for Pentecost 13
Grant us, O Lord, to trust in you with all our hearts; for,
as you always resist the proud who confide in their own
strength, so you never forsake those who make their
boast of your mercy; through Jesus Christ our Lord,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and forever. Amen

Pray for those seeking God’s calling for their next
venture in life. Provide the meanings of giving
thanksgiving for all God’s gifts and wonders.
Amen.

We remember those who have paid the ultimate price on the altar of Freedom with their lives. We pray for the families and friends they left behind. Cause us all to be peacemakers. Amen

Dear Friends, Grace and peace from our loving God. Let us pray … Kindle in our hearts, O God, the flame of love that never ceases, that it may burn in us, giving light to others. May we shine forever in your temple, raging set on fire with your eternal light, even your Son Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer. Amen A Celtic Liturgy - Morning Prayer, p. 21;  Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, 2008, ed. Today’s Parable - Wineskins / Luke 5:37 Jesus in this scene is having a party with known sinners after the conversion of a tax collector. Some religious people are critical of this action. They point to the disciples of John the Baptist and whose piety is fasting and prayer and why is Jesus not doing it their way. Kendall points to this parable of Jesus as a calling of established and mature religious people to create themselves as new wineskins for new wine. (If you put new wine in old wineskins, it will explode because of fermentation.) The Holy Spirit constantly inspires and

Peace+  DE +++  Readings for Today: Exodus 31:1 - 34:35 Day 25 - Blowing It Big Time Prayer: Oh God, we do really blow it sometimes.  We sometimes forget about you. We sometimes think of ourselves more than anything else.  Sometimes we are not very loving to anyone. We humbly pray and ask Your forgiveness.  Give us the ability for us to think beyond ourselves so that we might enjoy the life that you have given us by you being with us, and we being with the world and the people we come in contact with.

  2024 Read the Bible in a Year April 2, 2024 Tuesday of Easter Week Readings for Today: Day 91 - 1 Chronicles 1:1 - 9:44 See the animated overview of the Chronicles above. Prayer: Loving God, dissolve the barriers of suspicion that divide us from one another. Fill us with your love that casts out fear. Clothe us in your light and grace, that we may be agents of hope and encouragement for those who despair and have lost their way. Help us each find our particular way to proclaim the good news of your saving love in our daily lives and work. We pray that our government and leaders at every level of authority may be strengthened to heal the structures that bruise your people. God, hear our prayers. Amen (All Saints Episcopal Church - Pasadena prayers - 27 Oct 2019 worship) Reflection:  Today’s reading is everything you wanted to know about the genealogy from Adam to the return of leaders from the Exile. It is interesting reading that we can directly follow God's work via each person
