Walk to pray today. Walk anywhere, around your living room, around your car, in a park, or, along your street. As your foot touches the ground, give thanks for the earth, for your body that is connected to the earth, for the goodness of God breathing life into you and into the ground beneath your feet. Pray on your steps for those who are grieving, especially today. Pray for the all those who have lost their lives on this anniversary, in the wars that followed, in the illness and disabilities that resulted.
Pray for God's goodness in the new ways each one of us is now challenged to live with others we would call strangers, even enemies. Pray for the living word of Christ's life to open our lives to the new chapter before us.
Today, beginning at 9 am, I will be walking the labyrinth at St. John's with these prayers. You are invited to join me. Arrive before 9, after 9, whenever your can today to walk. About 9:20 I will offer prayers with all those who have gathered. Be there with us if you can. Pray with us wherever you find yourself today.
Reflecting on the every day, practical dimensions of faith. Practices to shape our lives each day as followers of Christ. Stories to share our practical experiences of wisdom, faith, hope, and love.
