Ephesians 2:1-10 <*((((>< + ><))))*> Luke 12:13-21
Your words today, O loving God
through St. Paul are so refreshing,
so lovely to read and hear,
very reassuring especially for
those of us losing hope in life,
those so tired and exhausted,
those about to give up;
let us sing joyfully to You, O Lord,
and serve You gladness!
For we are his handiwork, created in Christ Jesus for the good works God has prepared in advance, that we should live in them (Ephesians 2:10).
Everything that we have become,
every good and beautiful thing we do
is simply because of You, O God,
at work in us,
through us;
what a great honor, O God
You made us so good and beautiful,
You brought us here,
You sent us for a mission;
let us be open in order to give
our unconditional "YES" to Jesus Christ
in faith daily so that we may do continue your work
in keeping this a better and more humane world;
let us give our unconditional "YES" to Jesus daily
so we may experience your guidance
and help in our undertakings
to reflect You, dear God,
so that it is You who is always
found and recognized in
everything we do that is true,
good, and beautiful;
let us not be preoccupied
with so much material wealth
and fame that fills us with greed
unable to satisfy the deepest
longings of our hearts
found only in You.
Amen.
