 Psalm 20
May God answer you and help you in your time of trouble; may you prosper; God will answer; Trust in the Lord; 

 Romans 10
Paul continues - How can they believe if no one tells of the good news?; Faith comes from what is heard; The word has gone out to the ends of the world; Moses and Isaiah have said to to Israel but they did not listen.

 Matthew 24
Jesus said look at the fig tree and know the timing of God and the Word is eternal; God is coming again; Like the time of Noah they eat and drank and did not realize the time of the Flood; be prepared and be ready for the Son of Man; blessed is the one is ready and lives the life God calls them.

 Our God, 
You love and care for us is like an eternal mother and father. 
You live with us here and in heaven.
You are holy. 
You have come to us fully to be with us. 
Your desire for us is done throughout the whole universe.
You give us everything (and we are thankful).
Forgive us for all things that take us away from You.
Keep us in Your way even when we stray, 
for You are everything to us and everyone.

 Amen

  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 pe...

Parables - New Wineskins

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...
