Day 63 - Lawsuits and Forgiveness

-



Prayer Suggestion

I lift up my eyes to the hills; from where is my help to come? 

My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heav'n and earth. 

He will not let your foot be moved, and he who watches over you will not fall asleep. The Lord himself watches over you; the Lord is your shade at your right hand, so that the sun shall not strike you by day, nor the moon by night, The Lord shall preserve you from evil; it is he who shall keep you safe. 

The Lord shall watch over your going out and your coming in, from this time forth forevermore. 

  • Psalm 121

(Book of Common Prayer | p. 234
Noon Eucharist, 5 Oct 21, Trinity Wall St |
Choral Prelude: Margaret Burk - I Lift Up My Eyes )

Reflection Today’s Reading -  

Dear Friends in Christ, 

In this chapter, Paul is embarrassed that church people are taking other church people to court and suing each other.  Look to God and be forgiving. (Process in Matthew 18:15-20.)


Be pure and shun prostitutes and fornication. You are the temple of the Holy Spirit.


May the Holy Spirit be in your life!


Blessings,

Dave Eitland

  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...
