Prayer 968

The Rev. Mike Angell is presented by the Wardens of the Episcopal Church of the Holy Communion in University City, Missouri, to be installed as their next rector.

The curtain of night parts, and the darkness tells its tale to the dawn, yet the strength of the Lord's sheltering arm will never fail us. 

Come, Holy Spirit, and guide us into this new day, blessing us with wisdom and joy in all our journeys. Let our day be measured out to the melody of our praise to God our Savior, and our steps to the tune of the Gospel of Peace. Lord Jesus, gather us tenderly within your embrace, and lead us into your household. 

May the countenance of God illumine us, and may the blessing of God be pressed like a kiss upon those we now name.

Amen.
