A Prayer for Monday, October 21, 2013

Coming

O God,

On the one hand, help us to live in the moment, which is, after all, all that we have right now.

On the other hand, help us to live in the events of this moment and in all the moments to come in light of the fact that

Friday is coming—and it was on a Friday that our Lord Jesus Christ died on the cross so that we would be able, in every moment, to take up our cross and follow him, and

Sunday is coming—and it was on a Sunday that our Lord Jesus Christ rose from the grave so that we would be able, in every moment, to walk in newness of life.

So help us live fully in each moment of this week, always being empowered and pulled forward by Friday and Sunday …

Amen.
