Inspired by Matthew 10:40-42, Proper 8A
Most Merciful God,
with joy we come before your altar
and gather together
to praise You and learn from You.
Light of the World,
you call us to see the needs of those around us,
and to welcome and care for each other
as we would welcome You --
to root out our prejudices and fear, a
nd be tender and merciful to all who struggle.
May we offer the cool water of compassion
to all who thirst,
in the Name of the Living Water
who graces us abundantly in all our paths.
Spirit and Advocate,
deliver us from hardness of heart,
and fill us with determination
to live in integrity, lovingkindness, and mercy.
Holy Trinity, united in love,
grant the blessing of your peace
to all for whom we pray.
Amen.
