Isaiah 53:1 - 6


1 Who hath believed our report?
and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?
2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant,
and as a root out of a dry ground:
he hath no form nor comeliness;
and when we shall see him,
there is no beauty that we should desire him.
3 He is despised and rejected of men;
a man of sorrows,
and acquainted with grief:
and we hid as it were our faces from him;
he was despised,
and we esteemed him not.
4 Surely he hath borne our griefs,
and carried our sorrows:
yet we did esteem him stricken,
smitten of God,
and afflicted.
5 But he was wounded for our transgressions,
he was bruised for our iniquities:
the chastisement of our peace was upon him;
and with his stripes we are healed.
6 All we like sheep have gone astray;
we have turned every one to his own way;
and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

Today's Prayer...


Dear Father in heaven,

Grant your Spirit to us,
your children.
May something from you be revealed on earth so that
divine strength and divine truth,
not what is only human,
are with us in all we do.
Keep courage alive in our hearts even when things look dark.
May powers of peace and healing be revealed through us
because you are near and your kingdom is all around us.
You can do all things,
also things beyond our understanding.
With your help we do what we are able,
but we cannot do what you do.
We trust in you,
and we believe that through your power and your Spirit
you will take possession of our whole lives and
the lives of the many who sigh in their hearts for absolute truth.


In the Name of the Most Holy we
pray in Jesus' Name

Amen
