Read Colossians 3:12-17.
A synagogue. A shooter.
11 faithful followers gone.
How long, O God?
A community gathers and prays
the prayers of many traditions.
And over all these things put on love,
which is the perfect bond of unity.
This is our healing balm.
We are all God’s choice, holy and loved.
Today we choose:
Compassion
Kindness
Humility
Gentleness
Patience
And love, always love.
Thanks be to God!
Pray
Holy and gracious God, you lead us through darkness to light. Today give me the strength and courage to show up in a world that needs your love and my kindness. In the name of Christ, the Prince of Peace, Amen.
