Food for thought:
“Good works can hardly be done without suffering,yet the suffering of the saints is nourished by great hope. For nothing earthly is promised but rather eternal glory.”
Cyril of Alexandria, from Explanation of the Letter to the Romans
Both the prayer and the food for thought come from the Pentecost entry of Ancient Christian Devotional : A Year of Weekly Readings for Lectionary Cycle C edited by Thomas Oden and Cindy Corsby (IVP/Formatio, 2009)

Food for thought:“Salvation is given without any price and without barter.
Rather he who desires to be saved, he will enter
and will either receive free of charge the regeneration of baptism,
or he will receive the remedy of repentance without cost or charge.”

Music Fridays- Liturgy, Mozart, and Modern Music: Part 6
Last time, we looked at the Credo section of the Mass in C Minor.
This week, we'll look at some more modern musical approaches to expressing creeds.
For starters, I want to share Rich Mullin's Creed, which uses the text of the Apostle's Creed as the meat of the lyrics. Like many Gen Xers, my journey towards a more liturgical style of worship and a more ancient approach to theology began when I encountered Mullin's music. This remains one of my favorite pieces of modern church music.
Another late-80s/early 90s expression of faith is Vineyard's I Believe in Jesus- a tune most of us Gen X Methodists from West Texas learned at Ceta Canyon at a One Way Camp. Every time I hear this tune I can picture Sunshine Townsend grinning at the prayer rail waiting to lead teens to Christ.
And finally, here is a modern Credo with an old school flair from Taize.
Next week, we'll explore the Sanctus in Mozart's work.

National Day of Prayer 2010- A Prayer for Our Country
Heavenly Father,
We humbly pray that we as a people will bend to Your will. Bless our land with honorable industry, sound learning, and civility. Save us from violence, discord, and confusion; from pride and arrogance, and from every evil way. Defend our liberties, and fashion us into one united people though we come from many places around the world.
We ask, o God, that You will grant our President, Barak Obama, and our Governor, Rick Perry, wisdom to lead. Uphold them in Your hand. Surround them with wise counsel. Draw them unto You so that they will govern not from their human frailty but from Your divine grace.
Move the hearts of our Congress and our State Legislature. Let members from both parties remember that they service the people, not their financial backers. Grant them courage to stand up for what is right, humility to admit when they are wrong, and civility that they may reach agreement across the isle so that the needs of our nation may be met.
Grant Your wisdom to those who serve as judges. May they balance justice with mercy, and may they rule fairly. Insure that the innocent, the poor, and the powerless find a voice in our legal system.
Protect our military as they risk life and limb to defend us. Bring peace into the midst of war. Enable diplomacy to work where ever possible so that bloodshed may be averted. When war cannot be avoided, help our troops to fight with honor and valor. Protect the innocent and thwart the plans of the wicked.
Uphold Your church in this land. Teach us to bear witness to Your Son to all around us. Remind us that while we are citizens in this land for a season, we belong to Your Kingdom forever. Let us live as ambassadors for You in the midst of this land. Let us share the Gospel with our neighbors and serve our community in humility and love.
These things we ask in the name of Your Son Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, One God, forever and ever. Amen.

O God, who purifies the hearts of those who confess their sins to Thee,

give pardon to the guilty and vouchsafe healing to the wounded,
that they may receive remission of all their sins,
preserve henceforward in sincere devotion,
and attain everlasting redemption,
through our only Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.
From the Gelasian Sacramentary
Food for thought:
Now the law of Christ is love, and love is not fulfilled
unless we bear our burdens, each for the other.
Augustine, from Tractates on The Gospel of John 17.9,2-3
Both the prayer and the food for thought come from the Sixth Week of Easter entry of Ancient Christian Devotional : A Year of Weekly Readings for Lectionary Cycle C edited by Thomas Oden and Cindy Corsby (IVP/Formatio, 2009)
