Description
Poem: Why now?
Proper 17 Year A
Romans 12: 9-21
Vengeance is a natural reaction and most children have the instinct from an early
age. We have to be taught to share, to forgive, to live in peace with one another and
to resist our automatic reaction to get our own back.
So we pray:
When our instincts are to fight evil with evil:
understanding God, forgive us and help us.
When we talk of peace, but cannot live peaceably with others:
understanding God, forgive us and help us.
When we cannot resist the urge to get our own back on those who have hurt us:
understanding God, forgive us and help us...
28 August 2011, 11th Sunday after Pentecost, Romans 12: 9-21, prayer,
vengeance, forgiveness, evil, hatred, goodness, judgement, enemies, heaping
coals of fire, peace
