ECCLESIOLOGICAL ETCHINGS
September 30, 2019
Prayer for the Week:
Love
Love a little…
Love a lot…
I have been invited by you to love
but I do not know where to begin
where to start
where to give it a try
Do I love a lot?
Can I love just a little?
The Incarnate Word
The Prince of Peace
The Bread of Life
Jesus –
it is his life that calls me to love
by enfleshing my words,
by enthroning gentleness,
by becoming sustenance.
May the love I share
no matter how imperfect
be more than lip service.
Create within me, Lord God,
the capacity to take a little risk
and just love.
…just love someone
who has become convinced
that love is beyond reach
convinced that love
is not for today
convinced that love
is only for others.
…just love someone
and in loving someone
this love might
just take on new life for me.
Amen.
