Today is Monday, the 18th of September, and the 24th week of ordinary time.

One, two, one, two, three, four, five, six.

Slow down, where are you going?

What's so important that you can't wait?

Tell me, what are you seeking?

What is it that's keeping you from bringing me your questions?

Oh, that you carry, oh, that you bury underneath.

Just slow down, just slow down, and me with me.

Rest now, be in the present, hearing the blessings out today.

Listen, just for a moment, I am the only one with words to calm your worries.

Focus your mind on me, I am the way to perfect peace.

Just slow down, just slow down, and me with me.

I am sun, sings slow down.

How will you meet with the Lord today?

Walk with me, why are you?

When you can walk with me, I'll be the light to guide your feet.

Today's reading is from the Gospel of Luke.

After Jesus had finished all his sayings in the heating of the people, he entered cavernum.

A centurion there had a slave whom he valued highly, and who was ill and close to death.

When he heard about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders to him, asking him to come and heal his slave.

When they came to Jesus, they appealed to him earnestly, saying,

He is worthy of having you do this for him, for he loves our people, and it is he who built our synagogue for us.
