Day 10: Matthew 4:19-21

Matthew 4:19-21: And he said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. Immediately they left their nets and followed him.”

Credo for Life

We pause from the busyness of life, to affirm our willingness

To live like Jesus did here on earth, to want what he wanted

And to love what he loved.

We pledge to try to rise to the noblest and finest persons

We can ever be;

To see when possible that nothing we do is unimportant:

That any act, great or small, is significant, when done

According to God’s plan.

We renew our pledge to practice the way of Jesus with others:

To help with compassion those who are weak,

And to hasten the day when those who have so much in life

Will do more for those who have so much less.

May God’s indwelling Presence empower us to fulfill these promises.

May God’s kingdom come; may God’s boundless “Will”

On earth be done,

Till life reflects the fullness of God’s blessings,

Free from the fear of death and awaiting in peace

For the glory of that life yet to come!

Blessed are You, O God of all creation. We give You thanks for the life You have gifted us and the love with which You have sustained us, because You trust us to live our lives with others, to the fullest we know how and to the best we can. In Jesus’ name. Amen
