Let us hold what is holy.
|
|
As a mother bears her
baby in her
arms,
so
you cradle us
in
your
love that
lasts forever.
You don't send
us out
with
sack
sandals
or moneybags.
No.
But
with
wealth
beyond
all telling.
Your grace
and your
love.
THE
FIRST
READING
Isaiah 66:10-14c
As a mother comforts her child, so will I comfort you.
|
Father
in heaven,
was there ever a time
when you held back your love?
You sent your only son.
We can see you,
and feel you
within our
hearts.
We rejoice and are glad.
THE
SECOND
READING
Galatians 6:14-18
For neither does circumcision mean anything, nor does uncircumcision.
|
Holy
Spirit of God,
show us the world
as Christ saw it from the cross.
Stay
at our side
as we find, like Paul,
what is needed in our time.
Let us hold what is holy
and let go of
all that is
not.
