THE GOSPEL
Mark 13:33-37What I say to you, I say to all: “Watch!”
Rough
mountains,
steep pathways,
rugged trails with ruts,
or sometimes,
cool trails,
running
streams.
Whether
rough roads or sunny streets
let us never stop watching
for you, O
Lord.
Come to us as we walk with one another
on the pathway of time.
We look for you in all things,
all creation, every event,
every love, every
one we meet,
along
the
way.
THE FIRST READING
Isaiah 63:16b-17; 64:1, 3b-8We are the clay and you are the potter.
Lord,
master potter,
we are clay, modest
in your skilled
hands.
Shape us as you will. Polish us.
Smooth our rough ways.
Mend us: we are
broken.
Please make us
new.
THE SECOND READING
1 Corinthians 1:3-9I give thanks to my God always on your account.
Christ,
thank you
for the grace you give
to all of us on earth,
to our dear friends,
our loved ones,
in this time of
need. And
always.
Enrich us in every way,
in all burdens and all knowledge.
Do not let us wander
or sleep.
