Your Nightly Prayer
This week we are looking at the hymn "I Come to Thee, O Blessed Lord" (Hymn 330 in The Lutheran Hymnal) as we look ahead to the celebration of the Lord's Supper this weekend. This hymn is found in the Confession and Absolution section of our hymnal, but would also fit well in the Lord's Supper section. It was written by Norwegian pastor and hymn writer, Magnus Landstad, who wrote several other hymns that are also included in our hymnal. This hymn is based largely on portions of Psalm 51 and 130 and Paul's words in 1 Corinthians 11, dealing with the celebration of the Lord's Supper. As we study and sing this hymn, we are reminded that the Lord's Supper is not intended for everyone, but for those who are properly prepared to receive it through Spirit worked faith and repentance. As the hymn points us to our Savior's work for us, it should also move us to desire to receive this Sacrament which our Savior has instituted for our comfort and assurance of forgiveness. Study this hymn with us, as we are reminded of our sin and unworthiness, and as we are pointed to Jesus and His worthiness as our Savior from sin. Take comfort in the inspired words of the Psalmist: “If You, LORD, should mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand? But there is forgiveness with You, That You may be feared.” (Psalm 130:3-4). The LORD will bless your worship this weekend!

Psalm 87 explained in clear, simple English using the KJV Bible. "The LORD loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob."
église AB Lausanne ; KJV Psalms 130 Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O LORD. Lord, hear my voice: let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications. If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand? But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared. I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope. My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning. Let Israel hope in the LORD: for with the LORD there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption. And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities. ...
église AB Lausanne ; KJV Psalms 101 I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto thee, O LORD, will I sing. I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart. I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me. A froward heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked person. Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut off: him that hath an high look and a proud heart will not I suffer. Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walketh in a perfect way, he shall serve me. He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight. I will early destroy all the wicked of the land; that I may cut off all wicked doers from the city of the LORD. ...

Your Faith Journey - Finding God Through Words, Song and Praise
Second Sunday after Pentecost June 11, 2023 Faith, Okemos Hosea 5:15-6:6, Psalm 50:7-15, Romans 4:13-35. Matthew 9:9-13, 18-26 Grace to you and peace… It was Friday morning. Lola lay in her bed at Independence Village in Grand Ledge crying out, “Help me! Help me! Help me!” Lola, now in her mid-90's, is dying. Author Anne Lamott has written, “Here are the two best prayers I know: ‘Help me, help me, help me' and ‘Thank you, thank you, thank you.'” When I read the scriptures to Lola like the 23rd Psalm and Psalm 46 and Matthew 11 in which Jesus says, “Come to me, all who are weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest…” she both haltingly and forcefully said them with me, totally by memory. I don't know that I've ever heard those passages spoken more powerfully. Then seemingly out of the blue she began to speak the words of an old hymn, “I Need Thee Every Hour.” I need Thee every hour Most gracious Lord No tender voice like Thine Can peace afford. I need Thee, O I need Thee Every hour I need Thee O bless me now, my Savior I come to Thee. That was the beginning of our little concert together which also included “What A Friend We Have in Jesus.” In the midst of this, Bruce, one of Lola's children arrived, together with a granddaughter Jennifer, her husband Tom, and their little son. Amidst abundant tears and hugs, a trio was formed, Jennifer joining Lola and me in “Jesus Loves Me” and “You are My Sunshine.” Then with hands joined we prayed the Lord's Prayer. Over and over, Lola said, “Thank You.” She said that to us, but I thought in my heart that in those moments we got to be Jesus for her and with her. I think both Anne Lamott and Lola capture the essence of prayer. It is “help me” and “thank you.” Five years ago I was with my sister, Jean, when she died. We were together in the ICU in Cleveland Clinic much of the last two weeks of her life. I know we both talked a lot and were silent a lot. We prayed together. But in hindsight I wished I'd have thought to sing with her. Jean had a beautiful voice and was an accomplished pianist and organist. I just didn't think of doing that. Mindful of that regret again, I returned to visit Lola Friday afternoon with an old Service Book and Hymnal. We sang hymns ‘til I sensed that maybe now this was more for me than for Lola. Amidst a coughing spelling she said “this has been so fun” …and we sang one more hymn. I asked if she was ready to sleep. And after quiet prayers for help and words of gratitude, she closed her eyes in sleep. Afterword, I thought about Lola and her family and about the gospel reading for today. I think Lola's repeated cry for help was also the cry in the hearts of the hated tax collectors who collected money for the Roman Empire and often kept more than was legal for themselves. I think her cry for help was in the hearts of the morally despicable, the sinners, who together with the tax collectors sat with Jesus and his disciples for dinner at Matthew's home. Unlike the Pharisees, a spiritually elite group living always on the edge of self-righteousness (They may have often thought and sometimes said “We are the good, law-bidding people”)…Unlike the Pharisees the tax collectors and sinners they knew they were corrupt and immoral. But as Anne Lamott also writes, with God there are sometimes experience beyond the fervent, anguished need for help and sometimes another experiences beyond our expressions of thanksgiving for the grace Jesus so freely gives. Anne calls those experiences moments of “wow.” My “wow” on Friday was when Lola kept amazing me with her vivid memory. When I told Lola how amazing she was, she quietly responded, “Well, not that good.” But for me it was a ‘wow.” “Wow” must have been felt in the hearts and minds of those dining with Jesus at Matthew's home…wonderful, liberating feelings and thoughts like “With him we are not despised. We are not being judged. We are not excluded but fully accepted. Wow, this is wonderful. This must be what true love looks like. This is a mercy we never experienced before.” [I could imagine Matthew now posting on his door in Aramaic the words on the banner we dedicated this morning: All Are Welcome!] Clearly the cry for help was in the heart of the rabbi of a local synagogue who came to Jesus, knelt before him and said, “My daughter has just died; but come and lay your hand on her and she will live.” The text continues: “And Jesus got up and followed him, with his disciples.” For both the rabbi and Lola, their cries were cries of faith. As St. Paul wrote in his letter to the Romans, it is the cry of faith, however anguished, this precious gift and promise of God given to people like Abraham who at 100 years of age, as good as dead, believed that God would enable him and Sarah to have a son, that Abraham would truly be “the father of many nations.” This gift of faith that God could still do this, all the evidence to the contrary, was expressed by Lola when she uttered the words of a hymn she probably learned 80 or more years ago: “I need thee every hour most gracious Lord. No tender voice like thine can peace afford.” This was her faith in the grace and mercy of her Lord. And then there was the longsuffering woman in Matthew's story of Jesus: Then suddenly a woman who had been suffering from hemorrhages for twelve years came up behind [Jesus] and touched the fringe of his cloak, for she said to herself, “If I only touch his cloak, I will be made well.” Jesus turned, and seeing her, he said, “Take heart, daughter, your faith had made you well.” And instantly the woman was made well. Surely her flow of blood made her “unclean” as indicated in the very words of scripture (Leviticus 15:19). She would have been very much alone, not welcomed, not loved by virtually anyone. But God loved her and God placed in her desolate heart the faith that by merely touching the fringe of Jesus' cloak, she would be made well. (Notice her respect for Jesus, touching his cloak, not his skin, lest, according to the law, he be made unclean.) Her unspoken cry for help, borne of the gift of faith, was met with mercy. She was made well. The instantaneous nature of her healing was surely a “wow” moment in her life and perhaps for those who witnessed this power of God's love. This past Wednesday I presided at a graveside service which followed a heart attack and the resulting death of Bryan, a son whose much beloved mother had died just over a week before his own death. Needless to say, his family and caregivers who supported Bryan in his lifelong journey with cerebral palsy were devastated. Yet in the scriptures read at this service, we were all reminded of God's promise given to him in Holy Baptism, reminded that God was and would be with him always, that Bryan would suffer always with Jesus, die always with Jesus, and always rise to new life with Jesus. His sister, Susan, his devoted brother-in-law, John, and Bryan's nephew, Nathan, all spoke eloquently of his compassion, his empathy, his tenderness, his sensitivity as expressions of God's mercy and grace in Bryan's life. John, a jazz musician, asked me if he could play a recording of “Downtown”, one of Bryan's favorite songs, at the conclusion of the service. As I prepared for the service, I had wondered, in vain, how I might include that song in my sermon, but now I said “yes” to John. As we listened and then one by one joined in singing “downtown”, I thought in a new way about what heaven would be like with words like “The light's so much brighter there. You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares…Things will be great when you're downtown. No finer place for sure Downtown. Everything's waiting for you downtown, downtown.” Yes, it was a bit of a stretch, but for us it was a “wow” moment, God lifting our spirits in a day of sadness as together we had shoveled earth over the urn of Bryan's ashes, lifting us through a very secular song, now for us a song portraying a new way of thinking about heaven, about what the “downtown new Jerusalem” will be like for Bryan…and for us. Following the story about a lonely woman, so long ill, now healed, now no longer needing to be alone, we hear these bold and strong but also immensely comforting words; When Jesus came to the leader's house and saw the flute players and the crowd making a commotion. He said, “Go away; for the girl is not dead but sleeping.” And they laughed at him. But when the crowd had been put outside, he went in and took her by the hand, and the girl got up. Though he was probably wealthy and highly respected, this little girl's father humbled himself before Jesus. He recognized that he had no power of his own, no amount of money, no noble reputation powerful enough to bring his daughter back to life. But as with Lola and with Bryan's loved ones, he humbled himself and believed that if Jesus could come, would come, his sorrow would yield to joy. He believed that by Jesus' hand in his daughter's hand, she would live. And Jesus did come and Jesus did take her by the hand and she got up. So for Bryan who sleeps now, so soon also for Lola, what Jesus, the Son of God, has done, living as one of us, suffering and dying and rising for them and for all of us, when we sleep, even in death as earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust, when Jesus takes our hand, we will live. One more hymn Lola knew by heart (though not with exactly the version I'm reading now): Lord, take thou my hand and lead me Unto the end; In life and death I need thee, O blessed Friend; I cannot live without thee For one brief day; Lord, be thou ever near me, And lead the way. Lord, grant us, like the despised tax collectors and sinners, like the chronically ill woman, like the distraught father whose daughter had died, grant us the faith to receive your steadfast love, your amazing grace, and your boundless mercy for us and for all members of the human family. Amen. JDS

THEE O.G.S The band's sound is a blend of various influences, channeling the energy of funk-rock with a unique twist of soul, reminiscent of some of the hottest funk bands from the 1970's. The group's most recent studio effort, “She Aint No Freak”, stands out as a really fantastic example of their artistry, and flow, giving the audience a strong sense of natural character, tight musicianship and edgy lyrics that are not afraid to challenge what is probably the hardest question in relationships, sexual compatibility. She Aint No Freak shows a raw vulnerability and boldness that is subtle yet not afraid to uncover a touchy subject, which is a rarity for a genre other than rap. The way the song is produced and written, every time the song is heard it unfolds even more clearly, exposing more of the story that may have been missed by listening only once or twice. Fans of artists such as Cameo, James Brown, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and many 1970's era funk bands are most definitely going to enjoy this particular release, not only because of how the music plays out and unfolds, but also because of how the entirety of the arrangement feels so relatable and well-produced. “She Aint No Freak” is a really impressive calling card for a band with something to say. Find out more about THEE ORIGINAL GUYS, and do not miss out on “She Aint No Freak”, which is currently available on most streaming services.

My soul. All my nature, my inmost self. Thirsteth. Which is more than hungering- hunger you can palliate, but thirst is awful, insatiable, clamorous, deadly. O to have the most intense craving after the highest good- this is no questionable mark of grace. For God. Not merely for the temple and the ordinances, but for fellowship with God himself. None but spiritual men can sympathise with this thirst. For the living God.

First Prayer Our Father - Hail Mary O Jesus Christ! Eternal Sweetness to those who love Thee, joy surpassing all joy and all desire, Salvation and Hope of all sinners, Who hast proved that Thou hast no greater desire than to be among men, even assuming human nature at the fullness of time for the love of men, recall all the sufferings Thou hast endured from the instant of Thy conception, and especially during Thy Passion, as it was decreed and ordained from all eternity in the Divine plan. Remember, O Lord, that during the Last Supper with Thy disciples, having washed their feet, Thou gavest them Thy Most Precious Body and Blood, and while at the same time Thou didst sweetly console them, Thou didst foretell them Thy coming Passion. Remember the sadness and bitterness which Thou didst experience in Thy Soul as Thou Thyself bore witness saying: "My Soul is sorrowful even unto death." Remember all the fear, anguish and pain that Thou didst suffer in Thy delicate Body before the torment of the crucifixion, when, after having prayed three times, bathed in a sweat of blood, Thou wast betrayed by Judas, Thy disciple, arrested by the people of a nation Thou hadst chosen and elevated, accused by false witnesses, unjustly judged by three judges during the flower of Thy youth and during the solemn Paschal season. Remember that Thou wast despoiled of Thy garments and clothed in those of derision; that Thy Face and Eyes were veiled, that Thou wast buffeted, crowned with thorns, a reed placed in Thy Hands, that Thou was crushed with blows and overwhelmed with affronts and outrages. In memory of all these pains and sufferings which Thou didst endure before Thy Passion on the Cross, grant me before my death true contrition, a sincere and entire confession, worthy satisfaction and the remission of all my sins. Amen. Second Prayer Our Father - Hail Mary O Jesus! True liberty of angels, Paradise of delights, remember the horror and sadness which Thou didst endure when Thy enemies, like furious lions, surrounded Thee, and by thousands of insults, spits, blows, lacerations and other unheard-of-cruelties, tormented Thee at will. In consideration of these torments and insulting words, I beseech Thee, O my Savior, to deliver me from all my enemies, visible and invisible, and to bring me, under Thy protection, to the perfection of eternal salvation. Amen. Third Prayer Our Father - Hail Mary O Jesus! Creator of Heaven and earth whom nothing can encompass or limit, Thou Who dost enfold and hold all under Thy Loving power, remember the very bitter pain Thou didst suffer when the Jews nailed Thy Sacred Hands and Feet to the Cross by blow after blow with big blunt nails, and not finding Thee in a pitiable enough state to satisfy their rage, they enlarged Thy Wounds, and added pain to pain, and with indescribable cruelty stretched Thy Body on the Cross, pulled Thee from all sides, thus dislocating Thy Limbs. I beg of Thee, O Jesus, by the memory of this most Loving suffering of the Cross, to grant me the grace to fear Thee and to Love Thee. Amen. Fourth Prayer Our Father - Hail Mary O Jesus! Heavenly Physician, raised aloft on the Cross to heal our wounds with Thine, remember the bruises which Thou didst suffer and the weakness of all Thy Members which were distended to such a degree that never was there pain like unto Thine. From the crown of Thy Head to the Soles of Thy Feet there was not one spot on Thy Body that was not in torment, and yet, forgetting all Thy sufferings, Thou didst not cease to pray to Thy Heavenly Father for Thy enemies, saying: "Father forgive them for they know not what they do." Through this great Mercy, and in memory of this suffering, grant that the remembrance of Thy Most Bitter Passion may effect in us a perfect contrition and the remission of all our sins. Amen. Fifth Prayer Our Father - Hail Mary O Jesus! Mirror of eternal splendor, remember the sadness which Thou experienced, when contemplating in the light of Thy Divinity the predestination of those who would be saved by the merits of Thy Sacred Passion, Thou didst see at the same time, the great multitude of reprobates who would be damned for their sins, and Thou didst complain bitterly of those hopeless lost and unfortunate sinners. Through the abyss of compassion and pity, and especially through the goodness which Thou displayed to the good thief when Thou saidst to him: "This day, thou shalt be with Me in Paradise." I beg of Thee, O Sweet Jesus, that at the hour of my death, Thou wilt show me mercy. Amen. Sixth Prayer Our Father - Hail Mary O Jesus! Beloved and most desirable King, remember the grief Thou didst suffer, when naked and like a common criminal, Thou was fastened and raised on the Cross, when all Thy relatives and friends abandoned Thee, except Thy Beloved Mother, who remained close to Thee during Thy agony and whom Thou didst entrust to Thy faithful disciple when Thou saidst to Mary: "Woman, behold thy son!" and to Saint John: "Son, behold thy Mother!" I beg of Thee O my Savior, by the sword of sorrow which pierced the soul of Thy holy Mother, to have compassion on me in all my affliction and tribulations, both corporal and spiritual, and to assist me in all my trials, and especially at the hour of my death. Amen. Seventh Prayer Our Father - Hail Mary O Jesus! Inexhaustible Fountain of compassion, Who by a profound gesture of Love, said from the Cross: "I thirst!" suffered from the thirst for the salvation of the human race. I beg of Thee O my Savior, to inflame in our hearts the desire to tend toward perfection in all our acts; and to extinguish in us the concupiscence of the flesh and the ardor of worldly desires. Amen. Eighth Prayer Our Father - Hail Mary O Jesus! Sweetness of hearts, delight of the spirit, by the bitterness of the vinegar and gall which Thou didst taste on the Cross for Love of us, grant us the grace to receive worthily Thy Precious Body and Blood during our life and at the hour of our death, that they may serve as a remedy and consolation for our souls. Amen. Ninth Prayer Our Father - Hail Mary O Jesus! Royal virtue, joy of the mind, recall the pain Thou didst endure when plunged in an ocean of bitterness at the approach of death, insulted, outraged by the Jews, Thou didst cry out in a loud voice that Thou was abandoned by Thy Father, saying: "My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken me?" Through this anguish, I beg of Thee, O my Savior, not to abandon me in the terrors and pains of my death. Amen. Tenth Prayer Our Father - Hail Mary O Jesus! Who art the beginning and end of all things, life and virtue, remember that for our sakes Thou was plunged in an abyss of suffering from the soles of Thy Feet to the crown of Thy Head. In consideration of the enormity of Thy Wounds, teach me to keep, through pure love, Thy Commandments, whose way is wide and easy for those who love Thee. Amen. Eleventh Prayer Our Father - Hail Mary O Jesus! Deep abyss of mercy, I beg of Thee, in memory of Thy Wounds which penetrated to the very marrow of Thy Bones and to the depth of Thy Being, to draw me, a miserable sinner, overwhelmed by my offenses, away from sin and to hide me from Thy Face justly irritated against me, hide me in Thy Wounds, until Thy anger and just indignation shall have passed away. Amen. Twelfth Prayer Our Father - Hail Mary O Jesus! Mirror of Truth, symbol of unity, link of Charity, remember the multitude of wounds with which Thou was covered from head to foot, torn and reddened by the spilling of Thy adorable Blood. O Great and Universal Pain which Thou didst suffer in Thy virginal Flesh for Love of us! Sweetest Jesus! What is there that Thou couldst have done for us which Thou hast not done! May the fruit of Thy sufferings be renewed in my soul by the faithful remembrance of Thy Passion, and may Thy Love increase in my heart each day, until I see Thee in eternity, Thou Who art the treasury of every real good and every joy, which I beg Thee to grant me, O Sweetest Jesus, in Heaven. Amen. Thirteenth Prayer Our Father - Hail Mary O Jesus! Strong Lion, Immortal and Invincible King, remember the pain which Thou didst endure when all Thy strength, both moral and physical, was entirely exhausted, Thou didst bow Thy Head, saying: "It is consummated!" Through this anguish and grief, I beg of Thee Lord Jesus, to have mercy on me at the hour of my death when my mind will be greatly troubled and my soul will be in anguish. Amen. Fourteenth Prayer Our Father - Hail Mary O Jesus! Only Son of the Father, Splendor and figure of His Substance, remember the simple and humble recommendation Thou didst make of Thy Soul to Thy Eternal Father, saying: "Father, into Thy Hands I commend My Spirit!" And with Thy Body all torn, and Thy Heart Broken, and the bowels of Thy Mercy open to redeem us, Thou didst Expire. By this Precious Death, I beg of Thee O King of Saints, comfort me and help me to resist the devil, the flesh and the world, so that being dead to the world I may live for Thee alone. I beg of Thee at the hour of my death to receive me, a pilgrim and an exile returning to Thee. Amen. Fifteenth Prayer Our Father - Hail Mary O Jesus! True and fruitful Vine! Remember the abundant outpouring of Blood which Thou didst so generously shed from Thy Sacred Body as juice from grapes in a wine press. From Thy Side, pierced with a lance by a soldier, blood and water issued forth until there was not left in Thy Body a single drop, and finally, like a bundle of myrrh lifted to the top of the Cross Thy delicate Flesh was destroyed, the very Substance of Thy Body withered, and the Marrow of Thy Bones dried up. Through this bitter Passion and through the outpouring of Thy Precious Blood, I beg of Thee, O Sweet Jesus, to receive my soul when I am in my death agony. Amen. Conclusion O Sweet Jesus! Pierce my heart so that my tears of penitence and love will be my bread day and night; may I be converted entirely to Thee, may my heart be Thy perpetual habitation, may my conversation be pleasing to Thee, and may the end of my life be so praiseworthy that I may merit Heaven and there with Thy saints, praise Thee forever. Amen. The Latin Prayer Podcast Patreon is finally up and running - for those of you who are able to financially support the podcast please Click Here (https://www.patreon.com/thelatinprayerpodcast).

Once in 1873, while she was in Dorset, Elizabeth wrote to a friend, saying, “To love Christ more - this is the deepest need, the constant cry of my soul. Down in the bowling alley, and out in the woods, and on my bed, and out driving, when I am happy and busy, and when I am sad and idle, the whisper keeps going up for more love, more love, more love!” Facebook: www.facebook.com/storiesofhymnsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/hymn.stories/Hymn Stories is a part of the Media Gratiae Podcast Network.
