Following the Way
We give glory and praise to you, O God!
In your generosity you invite all peoples to join you at the heavenly banquet.
We ask that you guide us so we can enter your kingdom through the narrow gate. Empower us to build your reign here and now through works of justice, attitudes
of inclusiveness, and behaviors
balanced by self-giving.
Draw us into a deeper relationship
with Jesus that we might
follow his way. Amen.

Everytime you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person,
a beautiful thing.
Meditation Moment

A wealthy woman was a faithful churchgoer. Plaques of her many contributions adorned buildings and objects. One day she died. An angel met her at heaven's gate and escorted her down a wide boulevard lined with large, lovely mansions. As they walked, as they walked the mansions turned into houses that got progressively smaller. Finally, they came to a one-room hut. "Here you are, madam," said the angel. "What?" she said indignantly. "There must be some mistake!" "I'm sorry," said the angel, "This was the best we could do with what you sent us during your life."
For Reflection . . .
What is my main motivation in
donating something to a cause?
In giving something?
(Jesus said,) "When you give something . . . do it in such a way
that even your closest friend will not know about it."
Matthew 6:2-3
