CALL: KEEP YOUR STRENGTH UP
Acts 27: 33-36.
“Just before daybreak, Paul urged all of them to take some food, saying, ‘Today is the fourteenth day that you have been in suspense and remaining without food, having eaten nothing. Therefore I urge you to take some food, for it will help you survive; for none of you will lose a hair from your heads.’ After he had said this, he took bread; and giving thanks to God in the presence of all, he broke it and began to eat. Then all of them were encouraged and took food for themselves.”
Let us PRAY...
Loving God,
Your Son Jesus Christ broke bread
and shared the cup with His friends.
May we grow in closer communion
when we share our pain and suffering.
Encouraged by St Paul and the early Christians
give us strength to build bridges of compassion, solidarity and harmony.
In the power of the Holy Spirit,
we ask this in the name of Your Son,
who gives His life that we might live. Amen.
Let us REFLECT...
· Have you had experiences of promises of
Scripture haven’t delivered as you’d expected?
· When have you most felt the pain over
disunity in the body of
Christ?
· How might sharing the body of Christ be a source of
healing and unity between Christians?
What to DO...
