Prayer

Almighty God, be with your people in California now in the midst of the fires.

Only those who understand true humility can walk with Christ each day into the presence of the Father.

Only three Sundays remain in the church year. Each of them includes a Gospel about the end times.

Every display of love that we receive should transfix us with awe and inspire a response of the deepest generosity.

These other sovereigns can confer social status but not community, power but not trust, wealth but not fulfillment, pleasure but not joy.

These two ways, of Christ and Patanjali, have helped me be more at peace and be kinder to myself.
