Hail, Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou amongst women
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.

Gracious God,
On this Memorial Day, we pray for those who courageously laid down their lives for the cause of freedom. May the examples of their sacrifice inspire in us the selfless love of Your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ.
Bless the families of our fallen troops, and fill their homes and their lives with Your strength and peace.
In union with people of goodwill of every nation, embolden us to answer the call to work for peace and justice, and thus, seek an end to violence and conflict around the globe.
We ask this through your name.

Pentecost

The Spirit came
and your Church was born,
in wind and fire
and words of power.

The Spirit came
blowing fear aside,
and in its place
weak hearts were stronger.

The Spirit came
as your word foretold,
with dreams and signs,
visions and wonders.

The Spirit came
and is here today,
to feed the hearts
of a world that hungers.

We’re about to take the next step in our ongoing commitment at St. James to better understanding and living in right relationship with our indigenous brothers and sisters. We’re going to be launching a monthly Native American documentary screening series.

We’ll begin with a five-month trial, as together we watch and discuss episodes of the 2009 award-winning PBS American Experience series “We Shall Remain.” The five-part, six-hour series looks at the history of Native Americans in the United States from the 17th to the 20th centuries. Segments include “After the Mayflower,” “Tecumseh’s Vision,” “Trail of Tears,” “Geronimo,” and “Wounded Knee.”

We’ll screen these episodes in our parish hall on Sunday afternoons, right after coffee hour, on May 31, June 28, July 19, August 30 and September 27. After each screening, we’ll have a period of discussion and reflection.

Your Peace
God, who is more than we can ever comprehend,
help us to seek you,
and you alone.
Help us to stand before all that we could do
and seek what you would do,
and do that.
Lift from us our need to achieve all that we can be
and instead,
surrender to what you can be in us.
Give us ways to refrain from the busyness
that will put us on edge and off center,
give us today your peace.
