Charlie West’s Words Twice a Week 1/10/21
In today’s podcast, Charlie West, shares his answers to last week’s challenge with 3 pieces of short (280 characters or less!) fiction. He also shares some information from the church and world calendars including information about St. Anthony the Great, George Fox, Lewis Carrol, Benjamin Franklin and more. He also gives us a prayer for the week. You can read along in Charlie’s blog “Words Twice a Week” at https://wordstwiceaweek.blogspot.com Here is Charlie’s prayer:
A Prayer for the Week - Wake Me Up Lord
Wake me up Lord,
so that the evil of racism finds no home within me.
Keep watch over my heart Lord,
and remove from me any barriers to your grace,
that may oppress and offend my brothers and sisters.
Fill my spirit Lord,
so that I may give services of justice and peace.
Clear my mind Lord,
and use it for your glory.
And finally, remind us Lord that you said,
"blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God." Amen.
This prayer is from For The Love of One Another (1989), a special message from the Bishops' Committee on Black Catholics of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops on the Occasion of the Tenth Anniversary of the Pastoral Letter, Brothers and Sisters to Us, the U.S. Catholic Bishops' Pastoral Letter on Racism (1979).
