Here is today’s prayer…
END of all our beginnings, Lord of time, who alone makes time a gift, remind us we are creatures with a beginning. Â We confess we often forget we are your timeful creatures. Â We fear the forgetfulness our death beckons. Â We are driven frantically to work, thinking we can ensure we will not be forgotten, ensure our own place in time. How silly we must look to you, ants building anthills to no purpose. Â Help us take joy and rest in your time, eucharistic time, a time redeemed through Jesus’ resurrection, that we can rest easy in our dying. Â You have given us all the time in the world. Â May we take pleasure in it. Â AMEN. Â Stanley Hauerwas
