Prayer, day 2203: Fifth Sunday in Easter C

Easter painting by our parishioner, Mary Drastal.

Almighty God,
Lover of Our Souls,
we lift our hearts to you in trust and faithfulness,
singing out our praise for your tender care of us.

May we extol the power of love in every action we take, -- 
love that gives itself for others,
with no agenda but kindness
and the well-being and flourishing of all living things.
May we walk in love,
unified by your gospel, O Christ,
witnessing to the reconciling power of your wisdom 
hat binds us in empathy as companions and soul-friends.

Holy Spirit, descend upon us and lift us higher
that we may dedicate ourselves to God
and be guided by the lamp of mercy and justice.
Press the kiss of your blessing, Beloved Jesus,
upon all whose hope is in you, as we pray.

Amen.
