1st Prayer: March 01,2011
Listen to the great trumpet sound
by which God is exalted in worship
throughout the world.
It resounds in the ears of the heathens, causing
them to scatter.
It reinforces the voice of the watchmen of great God,
and, in the words of Isaiah, has us singing
together for joy.
Thanks to this wooden bell, the enemies of the cross,
are separated like the waters.
The fruit of the first tree loses its
far-reaching significance,
when wood becomes celebrated as the symbol of life.
Compared to this wooden bell emitting the sound of life,
the iron sword of war loses its luster.
And like something sacred,
this wooden bell that rings out life
was deemed worthy to be inscribed
with the sign of the cross,
like bells on horses, holy to the Lord.
The sword of human authority is sheathed
in deference to this anointed staff of the
heavenly shepherd.
No hammer of any artisan has nicked a
stone of the temple,
but on the altar built by God this sacred wood
soaring with the wings of the cross wields power.
Not only at the beginning of the month,
nor upon the seven times seven years of the jubilee,
is the wooden bell removed from its corner and sounded,
but from the dawn of the universe to its far reaches,
upon the waves of the sea and its islands,
it echoes, divinely,
announcing the good news.
The swords of the butcher were broken
by the sight of this wood,
and the useless were transformed into ploughshares and pruning hooks
Scriptural Readings:
Wisdom 5:16-23.
The Wisdom of Solomon 5:16 Therefore shall they receive a glorious kingdom, and a beautiful crown from the Lord's hand: for with his right hand shall he cover them, and with his arm shall he protect them.
The Wisdom of Solomon 5:17 He shall take to him his jealousy for complete armour, and make the creature his weapon for the revenge of his enemies.
The Wisdom of Solomon 5:18 He shall put on righteousness as a breastplate, and true judgment instead of an helmet.
The Wisdom of Solomon 5:19 He shall take holiness for an invincible shield.
The Wisdom of Solomon 5:20 His severe wrath shall he sharpen for a sword, and the world shall fight with him against the unwise.
The Wisdom of Solomon 5:21 Then shall the right aiming thunderbolts go abroad; and from the clouds, as from a well drawn bow, shall they fly to the mark.
The Wisdom of Solomon 5:22 And hailstones full of wrath shall be cast as out of a stone bow, and the water of the sea shall rage against them, and the floods shall cruelly drown them.
The Wisdom of Solomon 5:23 Yea, a mighty wind shall stand up against them, and like a storm shall blow them away: thus iniquity shall lay waste the whole earth, and ill dealing shall overthrow the thrones of the mighty.
Isaiah 35:1-2.
Isaiah 35:1-2 (King James Version)
Isaiah 35
1The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.
2It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of the LORD, and the excellency of our God.
Isaiah 61:6-7.
Isaiah 61:6-7 (King James Version)
6But ye shall be named the Priests of the LORD: men shall call you the Ministers of our God: ye shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, and in their glory shall ye boast yourselves.
7For your shame ye shall have double; and for confusion they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess the double: everlasting joy shall be unto them.
1 Peter 1:3-9.
1 Peter 1:3-9 (King James Version)
3Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
4To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,
5Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
6Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:
7That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
8Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:
9Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.
Luke 12:4-10.
Luke 12:4-10 (King James Version)
4And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
5But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.
6Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?
7But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.
8Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:
9But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God.
10And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven.
