We use the Revised Common Lectionary, a list of Bible readings used by many churches and denominations around the world.
The specific readings, the reflection that begins our worship, and a guiding question for this season are below.
2023 Recommitment Lectionary: Seeking God in All This
Revised Common Lectionary
Recommitment 2023
My starting point is that we’re already there. We cannot attain the presence of God because we’re already totally in the presence of God. What’s absent is awareness. Little do we realize that God is maintaining us in existence with every breath we take. As we take another it means that God is choosing us now and now and now. We have nothing to attain or even learn. We do, however, need to unlearn some things.
Richard Rohr, Everything Belongs: The Gift of Contemplative Prayer, p 27-28
