In this week’s reading from Jeremiah, we hear the promise of God to bring his people back from exile, “I will let them walk by brooks of water, in a straight path in which they shall not stumble.” This week we have opportunities to help those who could use some help walking their path in life, through donations of both food and shoes. Please take a moment to consider how you can help.

Go in Peace. Serve the Lord.

Thanks be to God!

In this week’s Gospel reading from Mark, we hear Jesus’ words, “whoever wishes to become great among you must be your servant”.

All of today’s lessons talk about communicating and dealing with others, whether Moses and the people of Israel, or James talking to his community of faith, or Jesus talking to John and the rest of his disciples. So today’s communication problems between people aren’t new to God. Listen for His voice. Hear His words of hope.

Go in Peace. Serve the Lord.

Thanks be to God!

In today’s readings, we see Jesus fulfill the Old Testament prophecy of Isaiah, “Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped.”

Our eyes and ears too often are closed to God’s love and grace. Let us all pray for guidance in navigating this confusing world.

Go in Peace. Serve the Lord.

Thanks be to God!
