 =We Gather in God's Name=
-====Opening Reflection====
-Julian of Norwich (1342-1416).
-Born during a tumultuous period of England's history, Julian witnessed tremendous suffering in her lifetime.  At age thirty, when she was seriously ill, Julian received the first of sixteen visions that centered on the crucified Christ.  She interpreted her visions to mean that God loves us unconditionally, and she likened Christ to a mother who suffers when a child is hurt.  Julian became an anchorite, voluntarily restricting herself to a tiny cell in the church building at Norwich.  She lived the rest of her days in almost total isolation so that she could pray for the community and offer spiritual counsel.  Her ''Showings'' has been praised as being among the most important spiritual writing in the English language.

-====Psalm 67:1-4====
- May God be merciful to us and bless us
-     show us the light of his countenance and come to us.
- Let your ways be known upon earth
-     your saving health among all nations.
- Let the peoples praise you, O God
-     Let all the peoples praise you!
- Let the nations be glad and sing for joy
-     for you judge the peoples with equity and guide all the nations upon earth.

-====Luke 6:39-49====
-He quoted a proverb: "'Can a blind man guide a blind man?' Wouldn't they both end up in the ditch? An apprentice doesn't lecture the master. The point is to be careful who you follow as your teacher.
-"It's easy to see a smudge on your neighbor's face and be oblivious to the ugly sneer on your own. Do you have the nerve to say, 'Let me wash your face for you,' when your own face is distorted by contempt? It's this I-know-better-than-you mentality again, playing a holier-than-thou part instead of just living your own part. Wipe that ugly sneer off your own face and you might be fit to offer a washcloth to your neighbor.

-"You don't get wormy apples off a healthy tree, nor good apples off a diseased tree. The health of the apple tells the health of the tree. You must begin with your own life-giving lives. It's who you are, not what you say and do, that counts. Your true being brims over into true words and deeds.
-"Why are you so polite with me, always saying 'Yes, sir,' and 'That's right, sir,' but never doing a thing I tell you? These words I speak to you are not mere additions to your life, homeowner improvements to your standard of living. They are foundation words, words to build a life on.
-"If you work the words into your life, you are like a smart carpenter who dug deep and laid the foundation of his house on bedrock. When the river burst its banks and crashed against the house, nothing could shake it; it was built to last. But if you just use my words in Bible studies and don't work them into your life, you are like a dumb carpenter who built a house but skipped the foundation. When the swollen river came crashing in, it collapsed like a house of cards. It was a total loss."
