we rejoice in your blessings without number,
and lay our hearts before you
that they be hallowed and purified:
uplifted by the love
of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
This day have you given us, O God of the Ages:
it has been woven on the loom by your hand
and lays before us like fine linen,
full of possibility and hope.
Where we see division threatening to rend it,
may we mend it
through the unity of the Holy Trinity.
Where we see hatred and contempt staining it,
may we cleanse it
through the power of love and affirmation of worth.
Where we see the heat of injustice unraveling it,
may we reknit ourselves in solidarity as one,
shoulder to shoulder with the oppressed.
May we reclaim this day in the name of Love Incarnate,
and be known as your children
by our steadfast love and compassion.
Blessed Savior, Healer, and Teacher,
place your hand upon us
to guide us, to heal us, to strengthen us,
and cast wide the net of your peace and hope
to encompass all those for whom we pray.
and be known as your children
by our steadfast love and compassion.
Blessed Savior, Healer, and Teacher,
place your hand upon us
to guide us, to heal us, to strengthen us,
and cast wide the net of your peace and hope
to encompass all those for whom we pray.
Amen.
