Amazing Thursday - What will you do in the name of Jesus today?


Thursday Retreat......
Prayer:  Merciful God,  may we be a blessing to everyone this day.  May we live in Your love and abide in Your presence.  This we ask in Jesus’ name.  Amen.

Read St. Matthew 26: 6 – 13

At the home of Simon the Leper,  an un-named woman pours expensive perfume over the head of Jesus.  

The Disciples are indignant with this woman.    Why waste perfectly good expensive perfume that if sold could have helped feed the hungry and  clothe the needy and visit those invalid or inprisioned.  Aha !  The Disciples did understand what Jesus was telling them about being good sheep!!!   But, unfortunately,  none of the Disciples realized that the unnamed woman was carrying out her own “good sheep” taskings.  

Jesus responds to the Disciples by saying, “When she poured this perfume on my body,  she did it to prepare me for burial.”

Today what will you do in the name and sake of Jesus Christ our Lord?

Prayer:   Great God,  may we live in Your glory and know that everything we do is done in Your name.  Amen.

Many blessings!
