THE GOSPEL
Mark 13:33-37What I say to you, I say to all: “Watch!”
Rough
mountain,
steep pathway,
rugged trail with ruts
or sometimes,
cool trails,
running
streams.
Whether
bumpy roads or sunny streets
let us never stop watching
for you, O
Lord.
Come to us as we walk with one another
on this. your 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 all the clay
in your loving
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, we surely thank you
for the grace that you give
to all of us on earth,
and to our friends,
our loved ones,
in our time
of need.
Always.
Enrich us in every way.
In all burdens and in all knowledge.
Show us how to end every war,
to fix the climate, and
to love all your
children.
Do not let us wander
or sleep.
