I treasure the privilege of being with a friend during one of life’s critical moments.
My Prayer:
For each of my precious friends, I give thanks. For the grace of being present there when needed, I also pray.
Scriptural Touchstones:
In those days Mary set out and went with haste to a Judean town in the hill country, where she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth. Luke 1:39-40 (NRSV)
Invitation To Pray:
Which of your friends needs you today? What prayers for them are emerging in your body, mind, heart, and imagination? Pray them now.
Photos:
Mary and Elizabeth as they greet each other in the Life of the Virgin Window (1217-1220) in the south choir aisle at the Chartres Cathedral in France. This scene is on the right of the fifth row from the bottom.
