November 3, 2021 Good afternoon, “If love is your purpose . . . it was and still is the time to double down on prayer. Because prayer, real prayer, is both contemplative and active. . . . Part of that is working for a good, just, humane, and loving society. That means getting on our knees [to pray] . . . and it also means standing on our feet and marching in the streets. It means praying through participation in the life of our government and society. . . . Through fashioning a civic order that reflects goodness, justice, and compassion.” —– from Bishop Michael Curry in Ricahrd Rohr’s daily devotional. ( November 2, 2021)So, let us pray…..
PRAYER O God O Holy One O creator of heaven and earth, O Father, Son and Holy Spirit, O Ground of our Being, We come on our knees We want to humble ourselves We want to listen to your great voice. We adore your presence in our lives.
Carve us into the pieces of clay so that we may become vessels of reconciliation and hope. and make this pottery-filled world a better place.
