6th Sunday of Easter May 14, 2023

Acts of the Apostles 8:  Then they laid hands on them and they received the Holy Spirit. 

1 Peter 3:  For Christ also suffered for sins once, the righteous for the sake of the unrighteous, that he might lead you to God.

John 14:  I will not leave you orphans;  I will come to you.

Petitions for Mother’s Day

 

For our mothers, who have given us life and love, that we may show them reverence and love, and others who show us a mother’s love, we pray to the Lord.

For adoptive mothers and for the women who wish to give birth but experience challenges, that they know your care, we pray to the Lord.

For mothers who have lost a child through death, that their faith may give them hope, and their family and friends support and console them, we pray to the Lord.

For those who wish to serve as mothers, but are not able to do so, that they know your comfort, we pray to the Lord.

For mothers who have died, that God may bring them into the joy of his kingdom, we pray to the Lord.

    Mark 11:  Hosanna!   Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!

    Isaiah 50: I gave my back to those who beat me,  my cheeks to those who plucked my beard;  my face I did not shield  from buffets and spitting.

    Philippians 2:  Rather, he emptied himself,  taking the form of a slave,   coming in human likeness;  and found human in appearance,  he humbled himself,  becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.

    Mark 14: The Passion of the Lord

    Gethsemane  by Mary Oliver

     

    The grass never sleeps.

    Or the roses.

    Nor does the lily have a secret eye that shuts until morning.

    Jesus said, wait with me. But the disciples slept.

    The cricket has such splendid fringe on its feet,

    and it sings, have you noticed, with its whole body,

    and heaven knows if it ever sleeps.

    Jesus said, wait with me.

    And maybe the stars did, maybe the wind wound itself into a silver tree, and didn't move,

    maybe the lake far away, where once he walked as on a blue pavement, lay still and waited, wild awake.

    Oh the dear bodies, slumped and eye-shut, that could not

    keep that vigil, how they must have wept,

    so utterly human, knowing this too

    must be a part of the story.

    Jeremiah 23:  In his time Judah will be secure again and Israel will live in safety. This is the name they'll give him: 'God-Who-Puts-Everything-Right.'

    Ephesians 2:  The Messiah has made things up between us so that we're now together on this, both non-Jewish outsiders and Jewish insiders. He tore down the wall we used to keep each other at a distance.

    Mark 6When Jesus arrived, he saw this huge crowd. At the sight of them, his heart broke – like sheep with no shepherd they were. He went right to work teaching them.
