Jesus, who saw the people like sheep without a shepherd and with compassion began to teach them: We your sheep need your teaching. A cacophony of voices around us cry out... “Peace, peace!”while other voices cry “There is no peace!” “Listen to our voice!” while others voices cry out, “No, listen to ours!” “We are the wise!” while others voices cry out, “No, they are fools!” “Support this leader!” while other voices cry out, “No, support this leader!” “Hurrah for our side!” while others voices cry out, “No, hurrah for our side!” Jesus, shepherd of your sheep, have compassion on us as you did so long ago. Teach us to know wisdom and to live with prudence, to live as the sheep on your right hand, not the goats on your left, to do justice, to love mercy, and to walk humbly, to use our gifts for the common good, to hear truth and discern lies, to seek first the kingdom of God and its righteousness, to live with gladness because the Lord reigns. Jesus, a cacophony of voices cries out around us. As the voices cry out, we join a single voice, the voice of a child named Samuel, and say, “Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening.” Speak to us, Jesus, our good shepherd. In your name we pray. Amen. SCRIPTURE SERMON HYMN NO. 543
