Almighty God,
we raise our hearts to You
in hope and trust.
Blessings upon this day,
the filigree of sun and shadow
fashioned at the hands of God,
maker of heaven and earth and all stars!
From the sacred, holy darkness
you have watched over us as we slumbered:
You call us to wakefulness
and engagement with the needs of the world.
Bread of Life,
who came down from heaven
to nourish us, body and soul,
create in us wide-open hearts,
eager to be filled with light and love.
Your way, O Savior,
is the way of hopefulness,
and you call us to love unfeignedly,
seeing your thumbprint and mark
in each and every soul.
Spirit of God,
kindle your flame within us,
and extend the awning of your mercy
over all whose needs we raise before you.
Amen.
