THE COUPLE THAT PRAYS TOGETHER STAYS TOGETHER.

The Lamb will be our Shepherd

Jesus said: “The sheep that belong to me listen to my voice”. One of the big questions of today for people is: “Who am I?” and there are all kinds of self-awareness courses around to help us answer that question. It is an important question and many of these courses are helpful. But it is not the most important question for us. Much more important is the question: “To whom do I belong?” Belonging is of the essence of being human and our belonging is identified by and lived out through the voices that we listen to. Some people listen to the voice of the world around which tells us to put ourselves first and they belong to the world. Others listen to the voice of Christ telling us to put others first and by so doing we belong to him. In the struggle between the two, Christ invites us to listen to his voice.

 

Morning Prayer, when together

Almighty and ever-living God,

give us new strength

from the courage of Christ our shepherd

and lead us to join the saints in heaven.

We ask this through Christ our Lord.

 

During the day, when apart

Lord, restore us to an ever-greater joy

in our love for one another.

May the continuing work of our Redeemer

bring us to eternal joy.

We ask this through Christ Our Lord.

 

Evening/Night Prayer together

Father, eternal shepherd,

watch over us and your whole flock

redeemed by the blood of Christ

and lead us to the promised land.

We ask this through Christ our Lord.  Amen.
