thoughts this week and ask God
to be close to her family and

Gracious Lord Almighty,

cause of everything,
O Lord, Compassionate One,
shower your grace on all.

Some bathe at Hindu holy places;

some go to perform the Hajj;

Some bow their heads in prayer; Love one another

Some study Vedas;
some read the Bible or Qur'an.
Some dress in blue; some wear
white;
Some call themselves Muslims;
some are called Hindus,
some desire to go to heaven;
some long for paradise.
But whoever just does the will of
God,
to her all things are revealed.
from the First Letter of John, 4:11-12
My dear friends,
since God has loved us so much,
we too should love one another.
No one has ever seen God;
but as long as we love one another
God will live in us
and God’s love will be complete in us.
A Welcome Blessing

May you meet God

in every place, in every person
and in the depths of your own heart.
