Opening song
Prayer
One thing I ask
One thing I seek
Just one thing
To dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life
To gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple
To be kept safe in Christ, hidden in him in the day of trouble
My heart says, “Seek Christ’s face!” Your face, Lord, is all I seek
My heart cries out, “Lord, please don’t hide your face from me!”
My heart longs for Jesus Christ alone, no matter what happens
One thing…Jesus
When darkness descends
One Light…Jesus
When enemies attack
One Savior…Jesus
When I am left alone
One Friend…Jesus
One thing…Jesus
I take heart
One thing…Jesus
I y e a r n
One thing…Jesus
I w a i t
One thing…Jesus
Amen.
Reading: Luke 13:31-35
At that time, some Pharisees approached Jesus and said, “Go! Get away from here, because Herod wants to kill you.”
Jesus said to them, “Go, tell that fox, ‘Look, I’m throwing out demons and healing people today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will complete my work. However, it’s necessary for me to travel today, tomorrow, and the next day because it’s impossible for a prophet to be killed outside of Jerusalem.’
“Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those who were sent to you! How often I have wanted to gather your people just as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings. But you didn’t want that. Look, your house is abandoned. I tell you, you won’t see me until the time comes when you say, Blessings on the one who comes in the Lord’s name.”
Time of Sharing
Tonight’s reading gives us a story of Jesus telling how God wanted to gather the people like a Mother Hen under her wings. What are the images you have for God? How does that image impact your personal image?
