Beloved, for whatever it might be worth to you, in our confrontation with the world, we read in the Gospel of St. Matthew, Chapter 10 (v. 16) (NRSV):

"See, I am sending you out like sheep into

the midst of wolves; so be wise as serpents

and innocent as doves. Beware..."
Let us pray.

Dear Lord and Father of us all, we know that in our kind of world mankind's selfishness and inhumanity to each other becomes a style of life making for death dealing patterns of confrontation and heartless competition on every level of our common life.

In this kind of world make us wise like serpents. Snake wisdom only helps us to identify our real enemies.

But we know, O Lord, that if our kind of world is to become Your kind of world we need a higher wisdom, a heavenly wisdom, as St. James says, "peace-loving, considerate, open to reason, straight-forward, and sincere."

Give us more of this kind of wisdom in the Spirit of Jesus.

Amen.

The PRESIDENT called for Petitions, Memorials, Presentments of Grand Juries and such like papers.
