We Gather... Let us pray for a greater love of God and others. (pause) Lord our God, help us to love you with all our hearts and to love all people as you love them. Through Christ our Lord. Amen. We Listen... A reading from the letter of St James (2:2-4) Suppose a rich person wearing fancy clothes and a gold ring comes to one of your meetings. And suppose a poor person dressed in worn-out clothes also comes. You must not give the best seat to the one in fancy clothes and tell the one who is poor to stand at the side or sit on the floor. That is the same as saying that some people are better than others, and you would be acting like a crooked judge. The word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. We Reflect... St James reminds us today that we should treat everyone equally. This also includes not judging others based on their appearance. Watch this short video on how the person we are on the inside has nothing to do with how we might look on the outside. We Go into the World... May God bless us and protect us and bring us to eternal life. Amen. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. THURSDAY 10 APRIL 2025 Week 5 Lent 54
