 FEB. 25 The Second Sunday in Lent GENESIS 17:1-7, 15-16 PSALM 22:22-30 ROMANS 4:13-25 MARK 8:31-38 Gracious God, thank you for the clergy and parishioners of St. James’ Church, a community whose faith is strong and growing. Yet, Lord, I worry about the world outside these walls that seems increasingly focused on what’s newer, faster, hipper, bigger and shinier, rather than on divine and eternal things. On this second Sunday in Lent, as we meditate on Jesus’s final days and rejoice in our salvation, I pray all of us here in the Sanctuary may be apostles of the Gospel of your Son to our neighbors and friends. Please let the Holy Spirit work through us. Amen. Miriam Burns [15]
