Good Morning, God
It’s Monday again and so another workweek begins for probably the greatest number of people. Some of us, especially pastors, began (or perhaps ended) our week yesterday. But for one pastor who for years, almost 85 to be exact, yesterday was the first Sunday in a very long time he didn’t have to conduct a church service or perform any other church duties. Benedict XVI is retired from his position of “Pope” and leader of the Roman Catholic Church.
God, we give you thanks for his ministry. We pray your blessing be upon him in the years ahead. We pray that he will sense from you what all of us, no matter our positions in life, long to hear - the words “Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful. Enter the joy of your reward”.
And, we ask for your blessing to be with the leadership of the Catholic Church as they determine their new leader and the direction of the Church, not just for today or tomorrow, but for the years to come.
In Jesus’ name, Amen
