Questions for Reflection

How do we live in hope of a reality we cannot yet see or, at best, catch only

fleeting glimpses? Where in your community’s life of prayer and service do

you see instances of God’s justice, peace, and healing? Then give thanks,

and ask God, Where am I being called to do justice, love mercy, and walk

humbly into all blessedness in the ordinary course of my day?

Household Prayer: Morning

Blessed God, I yearn to see your vision of justice, love, and peace

made real for me this day.

Open my eyes to the way of love

that I may see your brilliant light

shining into the hidden places of my heart

and the darkened corners of the world. Amen.

Household Prayer: Evening

Loving God, you led me in the way of life this day

and now call me to the way of rest.

I give thanks for your light that illumined my path today.

Now, it is night.

As you beckon me to enter into holy darkness

where I am one with you in your realm of uncreated light,

I open to you in peace. Amen.
