| Today, September 2, 2104, was Opening Convocation and my first class at Eden Seminary. |
God of Mercy and Compassion, we draw near to you in prayer in the glory of this day. We praise You, Creator, for the stars in their courses and the seas in their depths, for the splendor of all that is. O Christ, who spread your loving arms wide upon the cross, bring us into your embrace. O Spirit, inspire us to new heights of devotion and serenity.
May we set our hearts and minds upon your wisdom, O God, and tell out your truth is all we say and do. May we act with generosity and compassion to all beings, and make each others' burdens our own. Guide us in the ways of open-heartedness and truth, and make us humble and devout in all our paths today.
Awed by your unfailing love, O God, we ask your blessing upon those we now name.
Amen.
