Today is a turning point in our prolonged period of prayer for Christian unity. Our Gospel reflection is Jn 21:15-19: Go feed my sheep. Here is where we take our faithful, hopeful and charitable interior lives and turn it to our neighbor. Gratitude, thankfulness, joy, and the need for more of God's Spirit comes into my heart as I acknowledge the inherent value of each human, regardless of external characteristic.
Today's closing prayer:
Father of all, You call us to be one flock in Your Son, Jesus Christ. He is our Good Shepherd who invites us to lie down in green pastures, leads us beside still waters, and restores our souls. In following him, may we so care for others that all see in us the love of the one true Shepherd, Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever. Amen.
