Brothers and sisters: Put on, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, heartfelt compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience, bearing with one another and forgiving one another, if one has a grievance against another; as the Lord has forgiven you, so must you also do. And over all these put on love, that is, the bond of perfection. And let the peace of Christ control your hearts, the peace into which you were also called in one body. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, as in all wisdom you teach and admonish one another, singing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, in word or in deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
Families help stay together when they pray together. Next year will be quite challenging and divisive, especially with the Senate trial of President Trump and then the 2020 election. Our prayers should embody today’s emphasis on and the future need for kindness, patience, and forgiveness. The peace of Christ should control our hearts.
Let us pray, a lot.
Deacon David Pierce
