Reading
Ruth replied, ‘Don’t urge me to leave you or to turn back from you. Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people and your God my God. Where you die I will die, and there I will be buried. May the Lord deal with me, be it ever so severely, if even death separates you and me.
[Ruth 1:16-17]
Prayer
‘O Lord,
in the name of Jesus Christ Your Son our God,
give us that love which can never cease,
that will kindle our lamps but not extinguish them,
that they may burn in us and enlighten others. Amen.’
[6th century Celtic prayer]

Today try and walk as you pray
It might simply be around your home or the garden. You may wish to combine this with praying for the streets as you walk to work or go shopping. You can also do this at home if you’re housebound by using a map (including a virtual map) of your area to pray.
