Spring is here and already the days are increasing in sunlight!
Opening song:
All Things Bright and Beautiful by John Rutter and Sung by the Tabernacle Choir
Opening Prayer
Loving One, As the gentle rain falls may peace flow through every part of us. May our inner peace grow and increase as all creation blooms around us. Amen.
Reading: A Reading from the Gospel of Luke
Jesus said: “Don’t worry about your life and what you are to eat. Don’t worry about your body and what you are to wear. For life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing. Take a lesson from the ravens. They don’t sow or reap. They have neither a food cellar or a barn, yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable are you than birds? Can any of you, for all your worrying, add a single hour to your life? If even the smallest things are beyond your control, why worry about all the rest?"
"Notice how the flowers grow. They neither labor nor weave, yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was robed like one of these! If that is how God clothes the grass in the field, which is there today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, how much more will God look after you."
Silent reflection
Prayer Intentions from the Domincans
God has created a world filled with incredible diversity - plants and animals and peoples. And God saw that it was good! We live in homes, communities, countries, and a world filled with people with diverse ideas, values, hopes and dreams. So let us pray for those around us:
~ Pray for someone who gives you hope
~ Pray for someone who annoys you
~ Pray for someone who nurtures you
~ Pray for someone who challenges you
~ Pray for someone who loves you
~ Pray for someone who you dislike
~ Pray for someone who shares your values
~ Pray for someone who has hurt you
~ Pray for someone who understands you
~ Pray for someone who baffles you
~ Pray for someone who matters to you
~ Pray for someone who has no one to pray for them
And God saw that it was good! Amen!
Closing song: Deep Peace, Sara Thomsen, Video by Denise Hackert-Stoner
Closing Night Prayer
Let nothing disturb you, Let nothing frighten you, All things pass away:
God never changes.
Patience obtains all things.
He who has God finds he lacks nothing;
God alone suffices.
(Found in the breviary of St. Teresa of Avila at the time of her death.)
Be well! Be at Peace!
