A Wish And A Prayer
08/06/2023
In Romans 8:26, Paul prays: “I have great sorrow for my people, my own flesh and blood! For their sake I could wish that I myself were under God's curse and separated from Christ” (Rom. 9:2-3 GNB). Such was the compassion Paul has for his friends.
For this first week of August, our Lectionary New Testament Reading is from Romans 9:1-5 and Gospel Reading is from Matthew 14:13-21. Here is a question for all of us: “When was the last time you prayed for your friends, the way Paul prayed for his?”
Jesus said: “Bring them here to me.”(Matthew 14:18)
