Holy Spirit Flower ~ Panama |
The Jewish Pentecost remembers the giving of the Law to Moses on Mt. Sinai,/ fifty days after Passover./ May we remember Jesus giving us the new law of love,/ and live that law creatively and well./ We pray to the Lord.
On Pentecost Sunday may the Holy Spirit keep us from the discouragement and cynicism that might overwhelm us./ May the Church be blessed with new gifts of wisdom and joy./ We pray to the Lord.

Today is World Bee Day./ We pray to know how to take care of the planet-gift God has given us./ May we have the courage and persevering energy to love this earth,/ even in the small details of the pollinating insects./ We pray to the Lord.
Dozens are dead and many thousands have been wounded in new fighting between Israel and Palestians./ We ask God to forgive this violence in what we call the Holy Land./ And may the world learn how to be peaceful and just./ We pray to the Lord.
We ask for the calming of voices and the attitudes which often insult and hurt people./ We ask to be thoughtful and insightful,/ gentle and always grateful./ We pray to the Lord.
We pray for the sick,/ those recovering from trauma and accidents,/ those who need inner healing or the healing of relationships./ We ask blessings for those whose efforts help to make our daily lives easier./ We pray to the Lord.
