Gracious Eternal Presence,
We recognize your presence in scripture, in the church’s tradition, and through the power of the Holy Spirit, but you also reveal yourself to us at unexpected times and in unexpected places. There are times when we look into the faces of those around us and see strangers, freeloaders, foreigners, even bums. Of course these are our descriptions. Actually those around us are created in your image, therefore we should see your image in all we meet. Forgive us for our blindness. May we also remember the words of Jesus, “Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me.” Empower us to be followers of Jesus. We pray in his name, AMEN.
