Sixth Sunday after Epiphany
Watchword for the week — Blessed are those who trust in the Lord, whose trust is the Lord. Jeremiah 17:7
Sunday, February 16 — Jeremiah 17:5-10; Psalm 1
1 Corinthians 15:12-20; Luke 6:17-26
He gives power to the faint and strengthens the powerless. Isaiah 40:29
Paul wrote: The Lord said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness.” 2 Corinthians 12:9
Almighty God, today we pray for power. We pray not for the capacity to do whatever we want or to manipulate and defeat others, but for the capacity to enact change, to stand for justice, and to actively love ourselves, our neighbors, and our world. Amen.
