17 October: Heavenly Father, as you raised up your servant Ignatius to be Bishop of Antioch and to suffer and die for his faith. Grant that we may gather more frequently to celebrate the Eucharist, sharing the medicine of immortality, and that we would follow the bishop, as Jesus followed the Father, follow the presbytery as we would follow the apostles, and respect the deacons as we respect God’s law. This we ask through our Lord and Saviour Yeshua haMoshiach, who lives and reins with you and the Ruach haKodesh, one God in glory everlasting. Amen. (red)
18 October: Almighty Healer, we are woven as part of your wondrous being, and you inspired your servant Luke to set down your life and tell of your healing love.

21 October: Creator God, our bodies sense you in all things. In the cool grass under our feet, in the taste of ripe fruit, in the smell of blooming flowers, in the colors of the sunset, in the sound of beating drums. Touch us today Lord through your creation.

22 October: Loving Father, as your children, we often are self-centered and we don't treat you with honor and respect. Forgive us when we don't acknowledge your love and don't give our thanks to you for all we are, all we have, and all you have done for us. This we ask through our Lord and Saviour Yeshua haMoshiach, who lives and reins with you and the Ruach haKodesh, one God in glory everlasting. Amen.
