What are the personal implications of a single God being the responsible party behind all the diversity of creation? Yes, this says something about who we worship. But it also reveals whose plan and voice we need to attend to.
PRAYER

Help me to see how it all fits into your plan so I can speak up on behalf of all who are different from me, and for our common home. I start my care assignment with awe. Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER (ABP)
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
