Under three things, the earth trembles.
Under four, it cannot bear up.
A slave when he becomes a king and a fool when he is filled with food.
We thank you, Lord God, for the beginning of the first letter of John.
I'm just being reminded that you have made us into your children and what we shall be later on.
We have no idea.
The mind cannot even imagine.
We cannot even dare to dream the future you have in store for us.
And so we ask you to please help us.
Help us to belong to you.
Help us to love one another.
Help us to place our faith into action.
Help us not be lovers in speech or in word, but in deed and in truth.
Help us to love the people that are in our vicinity, those who are in our orbit.
Help us to love those people who are near to us.
Help us to love them as you have loved us.
In Jesus' name we pray.
Amen.
In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
