I have told you this so that you may not fall away. They will expel you from the synagogues; in fact, the day is coming when everyone who kills you will think he is offering worship to God.
(John 16:1)

Lord, it is still true today that people who kill Christians think they are worshipping you. Help us to remember that you warned us. Spirit of God, give us the courage to persevere in your truth.

I am facing some resentment now because I want to bring you in the Eucharist to our Communion group while our minister is away. They say I am trying to take over, that I am not qualified. Of course I am not worthy to give or receive you, but you will say the word. You love us each so intimately that you want us to swallow you. If I can be your instrument, let me not fall away. I am just a lay woman, but the need is indeed extraordinary and you will not deny yourself to us because I am not a Priest or even a man. Please forgive our ignorance and humble us so that we might take and eat.
