Morning Prayer with the Oblate Family: Friday, December 15th Advent 2023 With Christine
Dear friends, we invite you to join Christine on the island of Anglesey for today’s prayer.
Jesus said to the crowds, ‘To what can I compare this generation? Just like children who sit in the marketplaces and call to one another.’ This metaphor Jesus uses identifies adults who act like children, who stand divided, shouting at one another to prove their point of view. Some on the side of Jesus. Some on the side of John the Baptist. Each side holding tight to an “I’m right, you’re wrong” mindset. Unwillingness to be open to seeing the other’s point of view, and learning the difference and value of both the lives of Jesus and John, leaders to disregard, compassion, and live in the tension of division, hatred and war. As adults, we have the capacity to understand and gain wisdom from an open mindset.
So how do we show compassion to those who we disagree with? Could we broaden our view of the world by learning about a new culture or faith?
Thank you for joining us this morning.
