Opening Prayer

Grant me, O Lord, to know what I ought to know; to love what I ought to love; to praise what delights you most; to value what is precious in your sight; to hate what is offensive to you.

Do not allow me to judge according to the sight of my eyes, nor to pass sentence according to the hearing of the ears of ignorant men, but to discern with a true judgment between things visible and spiritual; *
and above all, always to inquire what is the good pleasure of your will.
Amen.

Praying Luke 6:32-35 (New International Version)

If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them. And if you do good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do that. And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, expecting to be repaid in full. *
But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked.

Response to the Scripture

You, Oh God, are reconciling all things to yourself in Christ Jesus. Help us to walk in the ministry of reconciliation, bringing all things under your kingdom - to the glory of your Name.

Draw near to God’s throne of grace
with the thanksgivings, prayers, & intercessions that are on your heart

Love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back.

Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name.

Give us this day our daily bread,
And forgive us our debts as, we also have forgiven our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil."

Praying Ephesians 4:11-16 (New International Version)

So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ. *
Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming. Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ. From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work.
