BIBLICAL REFLECTIONS
AND PRAYERS
FOR THE EIGHT DAYS
Week of Prayer for Christian Unity is 18-25 January
You shall also love the stranger, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt
Leviticus 19:33-34 You shall love the alien as yourself Psalm 146 The Lord watches over the strangers Hebrews 13:1-3 Some have entertained angels without knowing it Matthew 25:31-46 I was a stranger and you welcomed me
After becoming the first independent black republic, Haiti extended hospitality to other enslaved peoples in
search of freedom. Recent times have brought severe economic hardship to Haitians, many of whom have
left home, making perilous journeys in hope of a better life. In many instances they have been met with in-
hospitality and legal barriers. The Caribbean Council of Churches has been involved in advocacy to chal-
lenge those nations that are restricting or stripping Haitians of citizenship rights.
Reflection
The Israelites’ memory of being strangers in the land of Egypt lay behind the Law’s in-
struction that God’s people were to welcome the stranger in their midst. The memory of
their own exile was expected to prompt empathy and solidarity with contemporary exiles
and strangers. Like Israel, our common Christian experience of God’s saving action goes
together with remembering both alienation and estrangement - in the sense of estrange-
ment from God and from his kingdom. This kind of Christian remembering has ethical
implications. God has restored our dignity in Christ, and made us citizens of his king-
dom, not because of anything we did to deserve it but by his own free gift in love. We are
called to do likewise, freely and motivated by love. Christian love is to love like the Fa-
ther, that is to recognize dignity and to give dignity, and thereby to help bring healing to
the broken human family.
Prayer Eternal God,
You belong to no culture and land but are Lord of all, you call us to welcome the stranger in our midst.
Help us by your Spirit, to live as brothers and sisters, welcoming all in your name,
and living in the justice of your kingdom. This we pray in Jesus’ name, Amen.
PONTIFICAL COUNCIL FOR PROMOTING CHRISTIAN UNITY
P r ay e r Requests M a s s Intentions
Mass Intention Schedule If there are specific dates that you would like to schedule mass intention for loved ones or friends, please come by the office to
schedule. We have the Record Book for 2018 ready so please don’t wait until the last minute to schedule your masses.
In today’s first reading, we hear Samuel respond eagerly, “Here I am!” each time the Lord calls him. May we, too, be listening for the call of God in our lives and be ready to say like the psalmist, “Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will.”
