Last night was ABSOLUTLY wonderful! Thank you so much for an open and honest discussion about how God is calling us all to welcome the "stranger" in our midst. Talking with all of you reminded me about how big each of your hearts is! Next week is our FINAL installment of our LifeNight Series. The last one is called One Moment - The goal of One Moment is to educate us all on the issues of poverty and homelessness within our communities, while broadening our perspective on the dignity and place of the poor.
Last night we said this prayer before adoration AND my challenge for all of us is to say this each day this week!
Pilgrimage Prayer
Lord, You who called Your servant Abraham
out of the town of Ur and who watched over
him during all his wanderings; You who guided
the Jewish people through the desert in their
journey to the Promised Land; You who guided
the Holy Family on their passage to Egypt; we
beseech You to watch over Your children.
Be for us,
a companion on our journey
the guide on our intersections
the strengthening during fatigue
the fortress in danger
the resource on our itinerary
the shadow in our heat
the light in our darkness
the consolation during dejection
and the power of our intention.
We ask this through Christ our Lord, Amen.
