R-R-P Reading - Reflection - Prayer Dec 6, 2012
Reading:
First Maccabees 9 Reflection: Prayer: Jesus, please give me more of the courage of Judas |
Reading: Psalm 87 On the holy mountain is Jerusalem, the Lord's cherished city. Of you are told glorious things, O city of God. All nations are called to serve and love the
Lord. Reflection: Prayer: Jesus, may Jerusalem be a place of peace and prayer for all peoples |
Reading:
1 Peter 5 Do what the elders tell you. Wrap yourselves in humility to be servants of each other. God refuses the proud and favors the humble. Bow down before the power of God, and he will
raise you up. Be calm, but careful, because your enemy the
Devil is prowling round like a roaring lion, Reflection: Prayer: Jesus, please give me a humble heart like yours, wanting to serve rather than be served |
Reading: John 8 While Jesus was teaching in the Temple, the religious leaders brought to him a women who had been caught committing adultery. The leaders said to Jesus "According to the Law of Moses, this woman should be stoned to death. What do you say?" They said this to test him, looking for something to use against him Jesus bent down and started writing on the ground with his finger. Since they kept up their questioning, he looked up and said to them "If there is one of you who has not sinned, let him be the first to cast a stone". Then he kept writing on the ground The leaders went away, beginning with the
eldest, until Jesus was left alone with the woman. Reflection: I wonder what Jesus wrote on the ground? The leaders' sins? Prayer: "If you, O Lord, should write a record of our sins, who would not be guilty?" (Psalm 130) |
