PRAYER
Father in heaven,
in your goodness
you pour out on your people all that they need,
and satisfy those who persist in prayer.
Make us bold in asking,
thankful in receiving,
tireless in seeking,
and joyful in finding,
that we may always proclaim your coming kingdom
and do your will on earth as in heaven. Amen. Texts: Year C - Season after Pentecost - Proper 12 (17) : Revised Common Lectionary (vanderbilt.edu)

From the Lord’s Prayer (Commentary from the artist)
Luke 11:1-4
"We hear the “Lord’s Prayer” a little differently in this version from Luke. I focused on feeding and forgiving, these two aspects of the prayer Jesus taught. Being hungry and being in debt make people poor in our country and world. Then, so often people become victims of their own poverty... Perhaps God’s kingdom (kin-dom) comes on earth as we focus on feeding and forgiving, on bread and friendship, and finding equitable solutions for those who are in debt..." |
