(inspired by Psalm 20)
We lift our praises to our Lord and King, whose mercy and steadfastness endures forever. May the angels of the Holy One guard us night and day, that we may walk in the way of faithfulness. May God enfold us in a mother's love, and sanctify us before her altar as we bear our message of joy to the world. May we be borne on a Spirit of Holiness to bear witness to your saving grace. Loving One, help us to walk the pilgrim path each day of our lives. Help us to build Your kingdom in justice and in truth, united by the face of Christ we see in all creation. Place your hand of blessing over all who seek You or a deeper knowledge of You. Rejoicing in your ever-present help, we ask that You shine the light of your countenance on those we now name.
Amen.
