Wednesday 1 September

Colossians 1:1-8; Psalm 52; Luke 4:38-44

Our earth is ill

Today is the World Day of Prayer for the care of creation. Let us become aware of the needs and the pain of our earth. In today’s gospel Simon’s mother in law is ill and in the grip of a high fever. Jesus rebukes the fever and the sickness leaves her. Terminal illness plagues our planet. Pray and do something healing for mother earth today. Individually and collectively let us reach out and heal her before it is too late for our future generations.
