Today's Passage: Philippians 2:1-8

Today's Prayer: Oh, Father, how challenging a call to be like Christ. Oh, how much I grasp for my own peace and security...  Yet, again, I’m reminded that the ability to consider others above myself is only done through the truth that I am encouraged, comforted, cared for, and loved by the deep well that is Christ Jesus.   May this prayer attributed to St. Francis of Assisi be our guide as we continue to seek him in this day of prayer and fasting...   Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred, let me bring love.  Where there is offense, let me bring pardon.  Where there is doubt, let me bring faith.  Where there is despair, let me bring hope.  Where there is darkness, let me bring light.  Where there is sadness, let me bring joy.   O Master, let me not seek as much to be consoled as to console,  to be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.   For it is in giving that I receive, it is in self-forgetting that I find, it is in pardoning that I am pardoned,  and in dying that I am raised to eternal life.   For thine is the Kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever…AMEN.
