Love Your Neighbor as Yourself

Thoughts for the day, June 2, 2020

Many of us are struggling with the current events surrounding our nation that were spurred on by the troubling happenings in Minnesota. People are hurting and need to see and feel the presence of God in these troubled times. If you are unsure of what you can do—prayer and discernment are  always places to start. Our bishop has asked for 24-hour prayer starting June 7^th for 24 days. Let’s be a part of these efforts and then let’s ask ourselves how we can make a difference in our  own community to help be the face of God to others during this time of crisis. As we pray for the turmoil that surrounds us, may we keep focused on these words from Mark:

          You, O Lord, teach us to “love your neighbor as yourself” (Mark 12:31). Let’s pray, “Lord, help us mirror your kingdom.”
