Exodus 3:  The Lord, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, the God of Jacob, has sent me to you.

1 Corinthians 10:   These things happened as examples for us, so that we might not desire evil things, as they did.

Loving Father,

letting them pass unnoticed through each day.

Show us how to look again, to see through your eyes

and give freely in response to what we see.

Amen

Exodus 34:  Thus the LORD passed before him and cried out, “The LORD, the LORD, a merciful and gracious God, slow to anger and rich in kindness and fidelity.”
2 Corinthians 13:  Mend your ways, encourage one another, agree with one another, live in peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you.
John 3:  God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life.

 

Pope John XXIII modeled love and kindness for all the world to see. “See everything,” he said, “overlook a great deal; correct a little.”

1 Corinthians 12:  You are Christ's body – that's who you are! You must never forget this. Only as you accept your part of that body does your "part" mean anything.

John 2:  God's Spirit is on me; he's chosen me to preach the Message of good news to the poor, Sent me to announce pardon to prisoners and recovery of sight to the blind, To set the burdened and battered free,  to announce, "This is God's year to act!"
