Good Morning, God,
The headlines have been about the word "respect" lately, Lord: respect for the arts, respect for the dead, respect for tradition, and respect for faith, this time for the Jewish and Christian faiths.
As for faith, this week is very important for the Jewish faith, for it celebrates when the Israelites were exiting from Egypt with the feast called "Passover." It is very important for Christians, for it celebrates when Jesus re-identified the Passover, with his own body and blood symbolically becoming, the bread and wine of Holy Communion, the Eucharist. We are humbled by both of these acts and respect them.
We also give thanks for the respect that many have for the arts and having a good performance because of their volunteerism. We give thanks for the respect for life and the dead that Boy Scouts learn, even as several Boy Scouts are working on a cemetery for an Eagle project.
Lord Jesus, may we grow to respect all things good, and do our best to enhance life.
In Jesus's name, Amen.
