Centering Focus - From Psalm 95
1 O come, let us sing unto the Lᴏʀᴅ;
let us heartily rejoice in the strength of our salvation.
2 Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving
and show ourselves glad in him with psalms.
3 For the Lᴏʀᴅ is a great God and a great King above all gods.
4 In his hand are all the depths of the earth,
and the heights of the hills are his also.
5 The sea is his, for he made it,
and his hands prepared the dry land.
6 O come, let us worship and fall down, and kneel before the Lᴏʀᴅ our Maker.
7 For he is our God, and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand.
Reflection and Petition
(Open your life to God and be present)
Prayers of the People
(Space to share what you are sensing or to ask for prayer)
The Lord’s Prayer
Our father in heaven, may your name be honored.
May your kingdom come.
May your will be done,
as in heaven, so on earth.
Give us today the bread we need now;
and forgive us the things we owe,
as we too have forgiven what was owed to us.
Don’t bring us into the great trial, but rescue us from evil.
Scripture
Matt. 6:1-24 (excerpts)
Piety in Secret
6:1 “When you are practicing your piety, mind you don’t do it with an eye on the audience! Otherwise, you won’t have any reward from your father in heaven.
2 “So when you give money to the poor, don’t sound a trumpet in front of you. That’s what people do when they’re just play-acting, in the synagogues and the streets.
5 “When you pray, you mustn’t be like the play-actors. They love to pray standing in the synagogues and on street corners, so that people will notice them... 6 No: when you pray, go into your own room, shut the door, and pray to your father who is there in secret. And your father, who sees in secret, will repay you...”
The Lord’s Prayer
9 “So this is how you should pray:
Our father in heaven, may your name be honored.
10 May your kingdom come. May your will be done, as in heaven, so on earth.
11 Give us today the bread we need now;12 and forgive us the things we owe,
as we too have forgiven what was owed to us.
13 Don’t bring us into the great trial, but rescue us from evil.
14 “Yes: if you forgive people the wrong they have done, your heavenly father will forgive you as well. 15 But if you don’t forgive people, neither will your heavenly father forgive you what you have done wrong.”
On fasting and lasting treasure
16 “When you fast, don’t be gloomy like the play-actors. They make their faces quite unrecognizable, so that everyone can see they’re fasting. I’m telling you the truth: they have received their reward in full. 17 No: when you fast, tidy your hair and beard the way you normally do, and wash your face, 18 so that others won’t notice you’re fasting—except your father, privately. Then your father, who sees in private, will repay you.
19 “Don’t store up treasure on earth. Moths and rust will eat it away, and robbers will break in and steal it. 20 No: store up for yourselves treasure in heaven! Moths and rust don’t eat it away there, and no robbers break in and steal it. 21 Show me your treasure, and I’ll show you where your heart is.
22 “The eye is the lamp of the body. So if your eye is honest and clear, your whole body will be full of light.
