2. 2. DEVOTION

(Thom Schuman)

We are called to turn the other cheek,
so we will seek to be vulnerable
In our lives of faith and service.
We are called to go the extra mile,
so we will walk with those around us
in the journeys of hope as well as fear.
We are called to love those who make that so hard
so we will rely on the One who loves us
to fill us with that special grace.
Amen.
