Sentence for the Day
Of Jesus many said, ‘What is this wisdom that has been given to him? What deeds of power are being done by his hands!’
Mark 6:2
Collect
O Lord our God,
you are always more ready to bestow
your good gifts upon us than we are to seek them;
and more willing to give than we desire or deserve:
in our every need, grant us the first and best of all your gifts,
the Spirit who makes us your children.
We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God for ever and ever.
Amen.

Intercessions – adapted from Traces of Glory by David Adam
Lord, come into our weakness with your power, touch our eyes that they may behold your glory. Grant, O Lord, that your church may lead many to you; we pray for the outreach and mission of the faithful, for all who teach the faith and pass it on by example, for all who are quiet witnesses to what they believe, for each in their vocation and ministry.
Lord have mercy,
have mercy on us.
God of love, guide communities which are growing in fellowship and in understanding. Direct all who are seeking to build up community life. We pray for our children’s ministry, and for their leaders. We seek your blessing upon this land and upon your world.
Lord have mercy,
have mercy on us.
Father, strengthen our bonds of love. We pray that children may be brought up with respect and freedom, that each may have proper spiritual nourishment. We pray for all who are undervalued or taken for granted, for the unnoticed workers in our community, for refuse collectors and street cleaners.
Lord have mercy,
have mercy on us.
We pray for all who have suffered hardship, persecution or calamity this week: for those inured in accidents or suddenly taken ill. We pray for …… and those known to us whom we name aloud or in the silence of our hearts. We pray for all with the gifts of healing, for all who anoint the sick.
Lord have mercy,
have mercy on us.
Lord, give life to our loved ones departed, especially …. whose years mind occurs at this time. Give them joy and peace in your eternal kingdom.
Lord have mercy,
have mercy on us.
Almighty God, you have promised to hear our prayers, grant that what we have asked in faith we may by our grace receive, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

A note from Helen
Our gospel and Paul’s letter inspire us to ‘live abundantly within limitations’. Jesus and Paul persist despite limitations of health and belief. God’s vision for each moment is the best possibility for the concrete world in which we live. However, God cannot ‘force’ changes in our lives when we are not open to them or willing to accept them. If we are not open to God working through our lives, God is limited in being able to effect change. These readings invite us to go beyond ‘zero sum’ scarcity thinking and embrace ‘open system’ abundance thinking. Within the limitations of what we call ‘reality’ we can find a deeper reality, the energetic movement of God supporting us and bursting forth if we are ready to be open to it.
