Second Trinity Sunday between Johnstide and Michaelmas
Jeana Lee
Gospel Reading: Mark 8:27-9:1
Hopes, dreams and wishes become prayers when realize we cant bring the to fruition on our
own. When we realize we need help to bring them to be, and then ask.
When life is overwhelming, lonely, painful and we become aware that we need help from others
we can remember to ask. This is a prayer.
The generosity of friends, acquaintances and strangers offered so freely can be overwhelming.
When we are in need we think we are alone, but we are never alone. He walks in the spirit
before us and He hears our prayers. He knows what lives in our hearts. In the asking there lives
an acknowledgement of a need and also a hope, an opening to the possibility of receiving gifts
from others.
Through prayer we lift what is earthly up to the heavenly, and through our love for one another
we bring what is heavenly to the earth and build a future for each other that includes Him.
