LIVE THE LITURGY : Inspiration for the Week
Do you consider yourself spiritually mature and awake? We can become a little presumptuous in the Christian life and even put a little too much stock in God’s mercy. We foolishly believe that in the end, God is going to give everyone a passing grade and all will be well. Therefore, until that time comes, I can remain mediocre in my faith disciplines and put aside the effort needed to go from okay to excellent. We can be accomplished procrastinators! The meeting of God face-to-face either when we die or when Christ comes again, whichever comes first, is not going to be as casual as we may think. There is no earthly meeting in our experience that can even compare to what it will be like to meet God. To say that we are going to be caught up in awe is an understatement. But, there is something even more significant than that to consider: If we haven’t learned how to be attentive, recognize, and long for the holy of holies in this life, what make us think we are going to recognize and desire it in the next? Pray for the wisdom to act prudently.

A Prayer For Our Veterans
God of peace,
we pray for those who have served our nation
and have laid down their lives to
protect and defend our freedom.
We pray for those who have fought, whose spirits and bodies are scarred by war,
whose nights are haunted by
memories too painful for the light of day.
We pray for those who serve us now,
especially for those in harm’s way.
Shield them from danger and bring them home.
Turn the hearts and minds of our leaders
and our enemies to the work of justice
and a harvest of peace.
May the peace you left us, the peace you gave us,
be the peace that sustains, the peace that saves us.
Lord Jesus, hear our prayer! Amen.

Una oración por nuestros veteranos
Dios de paz,
oramos por aquellos que han servido a
nuestra nación y han dado su vida para
proteger y defender nuestra libertad.
Oramos por aquellos que han luchado,
cuyos espíritus y cuerpos están marcados
por la guerra, cuyas noches están
atormentadas por recuerdos
demasiado dolorosos para la luz del día.
Oramos por los que nos sirven ahora,
especialmente por los que están en peligro.
Protéjalos del peligro y llévelos a casa.
Convierte los corazones y las mentes
de nuestros líderes y enemigos
en el trabajo de la justicia y la cosecha de la paz.
Que la paz que nos dejaste, la paz que nos diste,
sea la paz que sostiene, la paz que nos salva.
Señor Jesús, escucha nuestra oración! Amén.
