SCRIPTURE FOR THE DAY     Luke 18:35-39

³⁵ As Jesus came near the city of Jericho, a blind man was sitting beside the road, begging. ³⁶ When he heard the people coming down the road, he asked, “What is happening?”

³⁷ They told him, “Jesus, from Nazareth, is going by.”
³⁸ The blind man cried out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”
³⁹ The people leading the group warned the blind man to be quiet. But the blind man shouted even more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”

 

PRAYER FOR THE DAY 

Jesus, we want others to view the message of reconciliation as it is lived out in our lives and in our daily conversation. Because You reconciled us to the Father through Your sacrificial death on the cross we want to see others experience this wondrous reconciliation when we were snatched from the evil one and transported into the Kingdom of God. What great joy it is to share this message with others, see them respond to Your Spirit, and take them alongside us in this journey of grace.  Keep us faithful in proclaiming the Good News. Amen.


I WISH YOU LOVE IN YOUR HEART-PEACE IN YOUR SOUL- JOY IN YOUR LIFE-ALWAYS-
