Most of the time I pray for those whom I know from personal experience. I keep a list of those persons in my journal and on a slip of paper that I attach to my pocket calendar. The listing contains the name of relatives, friends, and members of my congregation....

Loving and listening God, I praise your immeasurable greatness. May your power help me widen my circle of prayer to include those whom I do not know. Amen.

Resumen de la Escritura

The universal rule of God, expressed in Christ the Shepherd-King, is a dominant theme in all the texts assigned for the week. Both Old Testament texts dwell on the nurturing, protecting role of the Shepherd-King, whose people we are. Ezekiel 34 gives the shepherd’s guiding and defending role a political twist by condemning the succession of shepherd-kings who have neglected and exploited the flock. Both New Testament passages celebrate the victory of Christ: the enthroned Son of Man of Matthew 25 separates the flock, and the risen Christ of Ephesians 1 is seated by God “far above all rule and authority and power and dominion.” Christ guarantees God’s completed reign.
