Action Prayer with Judy Anne Masters 6 October 2024

Our readings this weekend focus on the sanctity of marriage. Some might find it a bit controversial...

When Jesus was quizzed regarding Moses allowing divorce, Jesus' reply was "It was because you were so unteachable that he {Moses} wrote this commandment..." Jesus also addressed the sanctity of marriage, of two becoming one body. This is the ideal and can easily lead to many discussions. Perhaps an important element is when Jesus refers to us being unteachable. What needs to be learned before marriage or during it? Our Action Prayer is twofold. Ask God during a contemplative walk, what is a helpmate, how do we become one? If there's a partner, acknowledge them in a special surprising way! Or perhaps honour a couple by offering to childmind so they can have a special evening.

O Prince of Peace,

Once more we hear the guns of war,
Once more we see the faces
Of frightened children.
We pray for the people of Ukraine,
That they may be granted peace;
We pray for the people of Russia,
That they may demand peace;
We pray for our country,
That we may be a positive part
Of peace making in this world.
O Prince of Peace,
Lead us from this dark time
To a deeper understanding
Of the global human family,
So all may break bread together
In the secure embrace of peace.
Amen
