Patient God, who stands outside of time, show us where we prioritize the wrong things – our responsibilities, our money, our power – that in seeing our folly, we might turn and receive the gifts you offer and find true satisfaction for our souls, through Jesus our brother, who abides with you in the Holy Spirit in perfect joy now and forever. Amen.
‘He sent his slaves to call those who had been invited to the wedding banquet, but they would not come. … they made light of it and went away, one to his farm, another to his business, while the rest seized his slaves, mistreated them, and killed them.’ – Matthew 22:3, 5-6
