With classes resuming this past week in local schools, we offer a prayer for all students.

A SHORT BACK-TO-SCHOOL PRAYER FOR PARENTS AND GRANDPARENTS
Loving God,
As our children prepare for a new school year, we place them in your care.
Calm their worries, spark their curiosity, and surround them with kindness and safety.
Guide their teachers and friends and help us support them with love and prayer.
Go with them, Lord—before them, beside them, and within them.

In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Go in Peace. Serve the Lord.

Thanks be to God!

In today’s Gospel lesson, Jesus warns us, “Take care! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of possessions.” (Luke 12:15)

We are bombarded with stories and messages and ads telling us that we can buy beauty, power, happiness. Even get it delivered straight to our doorstep.

Basically, that greed is good.

So why are so many still unhappy? Why is it never enough?

“One’s life does not consist in the abundance of possessions.” Wise words. Still true today.

Go in Peace. Serve the Lord.

Thanks be to God!

This week’s Gospel reading is jam packed with great news. Not only does Jesus teach his disciples, and us, how to pray (Luke 11:2-4), but he tells us “Ask, and it will be given you; search, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened for you.” (Luke 11:9).

What are you asking for? What do you search for? What door are you trying to open?

Go in Peace. Serve the Lord.

Thanks be to God!

In this week’s Gospel, Jesus tells his followers, “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. I do not give as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not be afraid.” (John 14:27).

On this Pentecost Sunday, we pray for peace in the world, peace in our homes, peace in our hearts. Come Holy Spirit.
