Luke 6 : 30-36

   
30 Give to every man that asketh of thee;
and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again.
31 And as ye would that men should do to you,
do ye also to them likewise.
32 For if ye love them which love you,
what thank have ye?
for sinners also love those that love them.
33 And if ye do good to them which do good to you,
what thank have ye?
for sinners also do even the same.
34 And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive,
what thank have ye?
for sinners also lend to sinners,
to receive as much again.
35 But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend,
hoping for nothing again;
and your reward shall be great,
and ye shall be the children of the Highest:
for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.
36 Be ye therefore merciful,
as your Father also is merciful.



Today's Prayer...



Dear Father in heaven,

How shall we thank you for all you give to us, your children,
for the great wisdom and power you hold in readiness
for us if we are childlike?
We want to be glad in your presence.
We do not want to weep and complain,
though tears often threaten to come.
We simply want to ask you to protect us, your children.
Protect all your children on earth.
Let the pain that breaks over them be taken away,
for the sake of the whole world.
Even when we must follow a hard road,
let all the suffering we endure become part of the fight
that brings in the kingdom of heaven,
bringing your purpose to the earth and great mercy to the peoples,
bringing to all the world the wonderful forgiveness
that enables men to be reborn,
until at last all are called your children.
Sustain us. Help us. Bless us.
May the Savior always live among us,
reviving and strengthening us in body and soul.



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

Amen
