St. Paul’s Cycle of Prayer – Monday – Children, youth, and family ministries of St. Paul’s and those who teach and work with our youth. Our music program and choirs.

Today is the Feast Day of St. Peter and St. Paul. I switched to Evening Prayer for my devotional time, but both Morning and Evening Prayer (and our Daily Eucharist today) include the Collect (a prayer that “collects” our thoughts) for these two great apostles. That prayer includes these words: Grant that your Church, instructed by their teaching and example, and knit together in unity by your Spirit, may ever stand firm upon the one foundation, which is Jesus Christ our Lord.

Good words as we continue our work at General Convention. We need LOTS of prayers. We are making pretty big decisions. Unfortunately it is a legislative process, which results in winners and losers. May we remember their example and allow the Spirit to unite us as we never forget it is Jesus Christ who is our firm foundation.

Knit us together, O Lord, in Spirit and in Truth.
