Prayer
for Proper 21:
O God, you declare
your almighty power chiefly in showing compassion and mercy, grant us the
fullness of your grace, that we, running to obtain your promises; may
become partakers of your heavenly treasure;
through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives
and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen
(BCP p.
234).
[Guide us, Lord, to walk in the path
in which you would lead us.....]

Proper 21-A
(9/28/08) Ex 17:1-4, 25-32; Phil 2:1-13; Mt 21:23-32
Mediator, Harbert Fr.
Joseph Neiman
Theme: “Let the
same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus?” Phil 2:5 )
Another
tough week on the stage of our national scene. How severe is the economic
crisis? What will that mean for us and our financial security? How should
the crisis be resolved? What plan will work? Add to these questions the
rapid movement toward election day, when we will select who will serve us
in the Michigan Legislature, the Congress and the White House. Whom should
we choose? Can we believe anything that the political advertisements tell
us about them?
We’ve come here
before the Lord in solidarity with one another seeking wisdom for living,
and we are presented from the Gospel of Matthew this Parable of the Two
Sons as the Word of the Lord. What does the Spirit wish to teach us
today?

"Loving the Church often seems
close to impossible. Still, we must keep reminding ourselves
that all people in the Church - whether powerful or powerless,
conservative or progressive, tolerant or fanatic - belong to
that long line of witnesses moving through this valley of tears,
singing
songs of praise and thanksgiving, listening to the voice of
their Lord, and eating together from the bread that keeps
multiplying as it is shared. When we remember that, we may
be able to say, "I love the Church, and I am glad to belong to
it." (Fr. Henri Nouwen)

[My Motto] "The Lord GOD
has given me a well-trained tongue, that I might know how to
speak to the weary a word that will rouse them. Morning after
morning he opens my ear that I may hear; And I have not
rebelled, have not turned back" (Isaiah 50:4)
