You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky; why do you not know how to interpret the present time?
(Luke 12:56)
Today, Lord, we have increasingly accurate means of predicting earthly events, and yet we still do not know how to interpret our times. People are quick to point fingers, blaming every catastrophe on the sins of our generation. When it comes to our responsibilities, we are less eager to blame. Without your Spirit, we cannot know your will.
Spirit of Love and Mercy, please show me what I must do, first to heal and nourish my soul and then to contribute to the needs of this time and place.
