See what love the Father has given us…
Today’s Epistle lesson is very familiar to many people. With the changes in the world today it rings very true. “God’s children now; what we will be has not yet been revealed.” We are called to discern what God’s called us to be not “whose.” We are God’s children and we need to live into that call before we try to figure out what we are to do. If we listen closely, we will be able to discern and grew into that call. We are called to be in communion with one another.
Almighty God, you have knit together your elect in one communion and fellowship in the mystical body of your Son Christ our Lord: Give us grace so to follow your blessed saints in all virtuous and godly living, that we may come to those ineffable joys that you have prepared for those who truly love you; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who with you and the Holy Spirit lives and reigns, one God, in glory everlasting. Amen.
