renewing and brooding over all the Earth,
like a mother bird sheltering her little ones
under the Lea of her wings.
We give thanks for your steadfast love,
and turn to you in faith.
May we use this day to your service, Lord Christ,
bearing your good news like a banner over us,
declaring the power of love over fear and division.
May we see your image, O God,
in each person we meet,
and the imprint of your craftsmanship
in each fallen leaf and mossy stone,
and gossamer web bejeweled by rain.
May we give our allegiance to your call to us,
O Shepherd of Our Souls,
over powers, principalities, and tribe,
that our love may be our witness
and our shield against the forces of division.
Blessed Trinity, Loving Unity,
grant your Spirit to reign in our hearts and minds,
that we may be lovers of truth.
Grant your angels charge over us,
and over those who seek your face,
O Holy One,
and let your peace rest
upon all for whom we pray.
Amen.
