Passing of the Peace God Loves You and There is Nothing You Can Do About It

Musical Response Eternal Our God (call and response)

Scripture Gospel of Matthew 26:6-13 Now when Jesus was in Bethany, at the house of Simon, who had leprosy, a woman approached Jesus with an alabaster jar of very expensive ointment. She poured it on his head while he reclined at the table. The disciples, witnessing this, were indignant. “What a waste!” they said. “This could have been sold at a high price, and the money given to needier people.” Jesus, aware of their concern, said, “Why do you upset the woman? She has done me a good deed. You’ll always have poor people with you, but you won’t always have me. When she poured the oil on my body, she was preparing me for burial. The truth is, wherever the Good News is proclaimed in the world, she will be remembered for what she has done for me. The Inclusive Bible: The First Egalitarian Translation"

Prayer Dear God, you who we call by many names, We give thanks for every breath we take and the miracle of life and all those who have loved us into being. In silence we name those we are grateful for making our lives possible. (Silence) We bring you our fear in this time of global crisis and ask you to anoint us in courage. (Silence) We ask for to our interspecies, interconnected web of life and what we do to one creature, we do to all. (Silence) We pray for our loved ones and name them silently. (Silence) We pray for everyone who is sick and alone, both human and non-human and ask for you to anoint them in your love. (Silence) We pray for the animals, the cats and bats, ant eaters and peacocks, fish and fire flies and extraordinary animal diversity on earth. We rejoice in our creatureliness and interspecies love. (Silence) We pray for all the nurses, doctors and care givers of all kinds in this time of global need who work in danger tirelessly and in steadfast love. (Silence) We pray for Church for Our Common Home that we may anoint one another and all those we serve in love. (Silence) We pray for our enemies as Jesus taught us. (Silence) May we follow in the ways of Mary Magdalene and ask for you, Holy One to anoint us in your love. Amen

Closing Prayer St. Francis and St. Clare of Assisi Prayer

God grant that I may not so much seek; To be consoled as to console; To be understood, as to understand; To be loved as to love; For it is in giving that we receive, It is in pardoning that we pardoned. And it is in dying that we are born, to Eternal Life. Amen, Amen, Amen

Invitations: Our current ecologic crisis is a call to awaken to the reverence of life and the truth that all nature is alive and sacred. As we witness the sixth extinction of life on earth, the only one created by us humans, we are invited to reclaim the ancient wisdom traditions. We are one organic, interspecies, interconnected whole. What we do affects everyone else. Every Sunday at 5 pm we acknowledge that we need one another more than ever before and commune with God called by many names. We celebrate the wisdom traditions from the East, West, indigenous peoples, new science as we study the teachings of Jesus, Mary Magdalene, the Bible and the newly found gnostic gospels.
