Call To Prayer God of Love, I bless Your name. In the morning I know your joy.

Psalm

Antiphon:

God is the forgiveness of my sins.

I want to call God by name,
the holy God, as truly as I live.
I thank God from the bottom of my heart
and I will forget none of God's benefits.

God is the forgiveness of my sins
and will heal me, time after time.
God fills my days with happiness
and like an eagle my youth revives.

People--their days are like the grass,
they bloom like flowers in the open field;
the wind blows and they are gone.
Only the love of God will be lasting.

--Psalm 103

The Word: Luke 17:20-21

Once on being asked by the Pharisees
when the reign of God would come, Jesus replied:
"You cannot tell by careful watching
when the reign of God will come.
Neither is it a matter of reporting
that it is here or there.
The reign of God is already in your midst."

For Reflection

What are some signs that "the reign of God is already in [our] midst"?

Prayer Loving God, may we never cease to proclaim Your compassionate love everywhere we go.
