In the conversation about Emergent Church, I often wonder if what is really happening is the Holy Spirit bringing us back to what TRULY matters. Jesus came with a simple message:
Love God.
Love one another as I have loved you.
Historically, it only took man a few years to screw it up. Jesus was also very clear about what his personal mission was:
Feed the hungry
Clothe the naked
Heal the sick
Bring sight to the blind
Set captives free
Emergent Church seems to be about returning to the simple mission and message of Jesus which ultimately boils down to
LOVE
For today’s reflection, I want to share with you the ONE prayer that helps me to remember our task as followers of Jesus. You can listen to it HERE.
Lovely, Thank you….. goes with Joan Chittister this morning re Pentecost…..
Hi Lauri,
Here is another wonderful version of the Prayer of St. Francis by the Burn Sisters. I saw them perform this live when they appeared with Arlo Guthrie (another favorite of mine!)
Blessings,
Bob
