THE GOSPEL
Matthew 18:15-20If two of you agree … about anything for which they are to pray,
it shall be granted to them by my heavenly Father.
Pandemic, racial injustice, trafficking of humans,
global warming, homelessness …
Lord, what can we
do?
“If two of you agree on earth
about anything you ask,
it will be done for you
by my Father in
heaven.”
Christ,
Lord of love,
let us not think twice;
let us trust in your words.
Let us all come together and pray
as one.
THE FIRST READING
Ezekiel 33:7-9
You, son of man, I have appointed watchman for the house of Israel.
Lord,
make us watchers.
Help us to watch,
in love, over our brothers and sisters.
Let us help them lay their hands on what is justly theirs:
food, shelter, freedom, schooling, health care,
and
human rights.
