Prayer for Week 6
God of silence and God of all sound, help me
to listen. Help me to do the deep listening to the sounds of my soul, waiting
to hear your soft voice calling me deeper into you. Give me attentive ears that
begin to separate the noise from the sounds that are you; you who have been
speaking to me and through me my whole life, for so long that you can seem like
background noise. Today help me hear you anew. Amen.
Matthew 25:34-40
Then the king will say to those at his right
hand, ‘Come, you that are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared
for you from the foundation of the world; for I was hungry and you gave me
food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and
you welcomed me, I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took
care of me, I was in prison and you visited me.’ Then the righteous will answer
him, ‘Lord, when was it that we saw you hungry and gave you food, or thirsty
and gave you something to drink? And when was it that we saw you a stranger and
welcomed you, or naked and gave you clothing? And when was it that we saw you
sick or in prison and visited you?’ And the king will answer them, ‘Truly I
tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my
family, you did it to me.’
Who
are the “least of these” in Jesus’ family?
What
acts of care and compassion is Jesus inviting you to do?
What
acts of care and compassion is Jesus inviting our congregation to do?
