Our Father in heaven, whose ways are far above our ways, help us to let go of earthly and lesser things and to embrace your ways, that we might not impede what you are about, but understand the work you do and join in your mission of reconciliation in the world, through Christ our example, who now lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, world without end. Amen.
‘But turning and looking at his disciples, he rebuked Peter and said, “Get behind me, Satan! For you are setting your mind not on divine things but on human things.”‘ – Mark 8:33
