Beloved, hear more from Ezekiel, Chapter 2, (vv.1-6) (NRSV):
"He (God) said to me: O mortal,
stand up on your feet, and I will
speak with you. And when He spoke
to me, a spirit entered into me and
set me on my feet; He said to me,
Mortal, I am sending you to the people
of Israel, to a nation of rebels who
have rebelled against me... you shall
say to them, `Thus says the Lord God.'
Whether they hear or refuse to hear, they
shall know that there has been a prophet
among them."
Let us pray.
Dear Lord, we beseech You: that we may feel Your presence moving within us, and among us, stimulating our minds, softening our hearts, enlarging our vision, and overruling our blunders.
Sustain us with the assurance that,
"He who from zone to zone
Guides through the boundless sky
Thy certain flight,
In the long way that I must tread alone,
Will lead my steps aright... "
Amen.
